One of the trendiest neighborhoods in New York’s Williamsburg in Brooklyn, a place where the average age under 35, people not afraid to cultivate his own style out of fashion and vintage is the watchword In fact, he has been accused of being the ” neighborhood hipsters .” I was lucky to stay there and walk the streets. What I found? Today I’ll tell you.

Map of Williamsburg Fashion

One of the most entertaining points of Williamsburg is the area of Bedford Ave (between N 11th St at 4th St N app); there are not just bars and restaurants, but also entertaining shops and several interesting findings trendy local author. What I recommend is walking down the street perpendicular , Driggs Ave first, as there are several trendy shops and a warehouse with objects and vintage clothing ranging from $ 5 – $ 2500 app ( the most expensive thing I saw was a coat skin $ 40 – $ 20,000 app) .

 Meanwhile in N 10th St between Driggs Ave and Bedford Ave is a shop called Dress Shop where you can buy very entertaining hats. The truth did not see prices, but I noticed that they had dressed for U.S. $ 70 app ($ 35,000 app) so I assume that the range is less than $ 100 ($ 50,000 app).

 Now on the corner of N 10th St to Bedford Ave found a fashion store which I loved author. It’s called “In God We Trust” and his catalog includes garments for women and men in a style that reminded me of the decades of the 50’s – 60 ‘s. Simple lines and delicate in details. Obviously I could not resist when he told me that your dependent was local factory and that was made close by in the neighborhood – now famous also – Green point. His story convinced me and I bought a short waist that had Small Square that showed some skin at the front and the back.


If they continue to progress along the same avenue recommend follow the N 7th St and reach almost to the height of Kent Av, where the ” Artists & Flea ,” which opens on Saturdays and Sundays. There you will find entertaining proposals for emerging designers, which are characterized by redefinition and reuse of materials. For example bicycle chains turned into bracelets, socks “type shirts “collars of typewriter keys, among others. Prices are not cheap, but they are not outrageous (I saw nothing less than $ 20 – $ 10,000).

 Now on Sundays at East River State Park (Kent Avenue to N 7th St. app) a flea markets, where clothing, antiques, food stands and some curiosities. However, I do not know if it was the heat or what, but his offer did not call my attention. Also their prices were too inflated in most cases.

Ah! On N 6th St (near Bedford Ave again) you can find more fashion: shoe shops, a subsidiary of American Apparel, with local decorative items. Ah! If you’re hungry, I recommend going through the Sweet water nay Restaurant (down the road), where their burgers the same name (US12 – $ 6000 app) you recharge energy.

Inside the square is where you find the highest density of trendy shops, restaurants and bars

 

Beauty made in Williamsburg

But not only fashionable living residents of Williamsburg, but also beauty in Driggs Ave and N 7th St saw several Nail Salon , where you could make your manicure and pedicure for $ 34 to $ 40 app ($ 17000-20000 app ) . In addition to the stylish men found the Barber & Supply, a special place for a haircut, beard (a feature of young people here) and purchase products for personal care. It also has beautiful decor and is staffed by a hair, competing in style with their customers.

Still do not know if you cross the river?
