Williamsburg, Brooklyn Travelogue

PLEASE READ: Yes, I know the sound is crappy. Yes, I know the video quality could be better. This was made mostly out of fun, as an audition tape for Lonely Planet - not really made for mass consumption. I decided to put it up on youtube at least as a record of what Williamsburg, Brooklyn is (and was -some of the locations we shot at don't even exist anymore!) So take it for what it's worth --

"A Williamsburg, Brooklyn Travelogue with your host M. Elizabeth Lee! Video by Katie Carman, edited by Rashid Lamarre.

A historical and cultural tour of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Take a visit to the Brooklyn Brewery, Beacon's Closet, the original location of City Reliquary with Dave Herman, the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center (the WAH Center) and more!

williamsburg is dead now with all of the hipsters invasion

[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)

[KenziixInxDisguise]

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

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.

@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.
