East Williamsburg is everything you love about living in New York -- the food, the corner shops, the never-ending nightlife, the noise, the tons of fun with a hint of grit. The neighborhood features mid-sized apartment buildings atop bakeries and delis, most historic and brick but some modern and sleek. Before it became one of Brooklyn's trendy neighborhoods, East Williamsburg was an industrial area, and a few factories still remain. Many have been converted into lofts, which has drawn artists to the neighborhood.

In addition to its definite artsy vibe, East Williamsburg offers fantastic places to eat, from what locals claim are the world's best tacos to the city's finest pizza. The Moore Street Market, which began in the 1930s, is one of the oldest indoor markets in Brooklyn. In addition to a variety of local vendors, the market hosts events and cooking classes. East Williamsburg is very walkable, bicycle-friendly, and offers easy access to mass transit. The Brooklyn Queens Expressway (the BQE) extends along the north end of the neighborhood. The Grand Street, Montrose Avenue, and Morgan Avenue Subway Stations provide fast access to Manhattan.
