Williamsburg, Brooklyn Travelogue

[fatprick44]

these people are zoo lame

[KenziixInxDisguise]

Everything's getting invaded. The Village is now dominated by rich pricks & Williamsburg is dominated by hipsters.

[guitarshredder920]

Your just embracing this yuppie/hipster invasion. We actual native brooklyn people have more than enough culture in our neighborhoods. We don't need more piece of shit "Art" hipsters like to make. Hipsters are ruining Brooklyn.

[blossombogart2]

growing up on bedford ave in the 50 and 60's was the greatest place to grow up in the world...close knit...knew everyone from birth...great memories of bedford ave,,,

naught tent street baby...

[guitarshredder920]

All you fucking yuppies. Get the Fuck out of Brooklyn!!! Seriously, i bet you all think its cool living in Brooklyn and thinking your a real New Yorker. Your fucking wrong.

[cannedkitty]

katie carmen you seem pretty cool. you remind me a lot of my mother.

[rjholling]

bunch of pretentious art school dropout hipsters

[jimbobklyn1963]

wow i cant believe there are comments about hipsters in billyburg! what a surprise?

Y A W N .

[Izakokomarixyz]

@jimbobklyn1963 I suppose you're a hipster...

[boes941]

williamsburg of today is full of phonies and pretenders.

[jifsb953]

flush out the far left liberal trash and start over.

[fredjhenzel]

shut the fuck up

[Xproletariatx]

How about we flush you out you right wing prick. Go suck Bush's cock.

[pauliefrom91]

@Xproletariatx yuppie jerkoff i hope you get mugged by the people you are flushing out YA LITTLE FAG prancing around in your skinny jeans

[Xproletariatx]

@pauliefrom91 skinny jeans??? LOL yeah right. I work in Williamsburg and all the rich yuppies that live there look at me like im homeless just because I don't have on the latest fashion designer crap that cost $1 to make in some sweatshop in some third world country. Despite what you think, you might have a lot more in common with Williamsburg people than you think. They're spoiled rich white right wing pricks just like you.

[MrPeeintheShower]

if you don't like being out after the sun goes down, don't go to williamsburg. first, someone asks you what time it is, next thing you know you wake up in a hospital

[xzcz875]

what the fuck are you taking about. only if you live in ghetto williamsburg near bed stuy. go back to ohio.

[PeteyIrish]

McCarren Park is in Greenpoint.

[len1bkssb]

mcCARREN PARK IS ON THE BOADER OF GREENPOINT..(NASSAU ST.) ITS ON THE NORTH SIDE....WHICH IS WILLIAMSBURG.....

[NappyHeadedHorse]

great video, thanks!

[eastcstsrfr]

their supposed sub-culture sense of being is just regurgitated fads of the past 40 years. Be something new you american apparel, fixed-gear bike riding zombies. Hipsters are the opposite of originality and authenticity.

-a real New Yorker (brooklyn born)

[vafangulu3x]

I completley agree with you except you cant deny they are improving the neighborhood by fixing buldings opening rest. and shops and ive already seen two movies made there, one is filming right now. and there are alot of good looking women walking around, models actresses probably.

[mxz871]

the neighborhood has gotten better since when i moved into the neighborhood in 92', but much of the old school feel is gone. the new buildings they are putting up look ridiculous next to the row frames, browstones, and private dwellings. tons of phonies living the area now.

[xzcz875]

yea but they are all far left liberal types who i don't get along with.

[theturd12]

williamsburg is dead now with all of the hipsters invasion

[kev8767]

if it wasn't for the L train, williamsburg would be nothing.

williamsburg brooklyn = the armpit of NY

[side1981]

what about all of Staten. That place in crawling with conservatives.

[kev8767]

I'm not a fan of Staten Island, but have no problem with conservatives.

[side1981]

Why the hell would you live in the city if like conservatives.

[Xone7]

Please someonetell me the name of thesong that starts playing at 1:25.

[crimeNcity]

DAFT PUNK !

Around the World

[Xone7]

Thank you!!

[FlavorGodz]

I was born here!

[MondoBeno]

Williamsburg (at least the Bedford Avenue part) is an over-priced, gentrified, poser-infested suburb. It looks like Pittsburg painted in psychadelic colors. There are parts where you'll have a space-age glass condo building surrounded by auto repair shops. And worse, the apartments are all unrented because they're charging too much.

[loveelephants]

WHAT ABOUT BARC??!? They're saints.

I used to see people on the L carrying white plastic bags with "S & M Women's and Children's Fashions" and I vowed to go there and get some bags but never got around to it. I miss the food (Bamonte's, S. Cono-the restaurant and the pizza place, Teddy's, Mug's, Planet Thailand, etc.) and the Brooklyn Brewery. There's a lot to recommend in W'burg

[joeyi73]

The guy who delivers the Red Bull in Williamsburg is sooo cute...anyone see him?

[SpikeJonze]

The real Brooklyn neighborhood has moved to the South East and even left for Staten Island and Jersey

[cnote0187]

What song is at the beginning and 6:49

[katiecarman]

Daft Punk - "Around the World"

[clemens36]

williamsburg by armor for sleep-----

look it uppp~

[FartheadOgre]

Very nice, beers and babes!

[latinwilly]

I was born and raise in Williamsburg Brooklyn (Lindsay Project). I'm now living in Chicago and miss Williamsburg greatly. Everytime I go there, I have to visit Graham Ave (and shop at Fat Albert). I have great childhood memories there (P.S.250 & I.S.318). I love Williamsburg.

[Brooknamsfinest]

you know they don't call S&M S&M anymore ?

[latinwilly]

What is it call now?

[michaelsalan]

i was born there thats when it was good  yeah hooper st

[piratekiz]

I love this Neighborhood, I refer to it passionately as "The Artist Hood."

[glorialucia]

real artist don't live here because they can afford it, they just hang out there

[BahadorAlast]

Williamsburg is great, I go there every time I visit NYC

[hotsalsa7]

I LOVE williamsburg.

[rallytbk]

This is more of the North Side of Williamsburgh, this travelogue is incomplete. Hopefully the South side and parts of Grand Street to Bushwich is filmed in the future... Great footage.

[katiecarman]

thanks for your comment - actually, the WAH Center (which was on the corner of Broadway & Bedford - it's now closed/been sold I believe), the Brooklyn Reliquary (at the time located at Grand and Havemeyer - they've moved to new diggs at 370 Metropolitan Ave) and a few of our other shooting locations were on the 'Southside', though I agree we could've shown even more - I would've liked to get inside the Commodore Theater (now being demolished) at Rodney & Broadway...

[katiecarman]

-EDIT: As the commenter below noted, the WAH Center was temporarily closed but has since reopened. Go check them out!

[wahcenter]

Just to let you know, the WAH Center was only closed for some construction. It is opening in September with a big (150 artist) photography show. Love your video!

[katiecarman]

that is great news! Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to amend that comment right now to let people know!

[michaelsalan]

me too
