Hi! I’m an English teacher & cat mom living in Brooklyn, NY. My hobbies include reading, cooking/baking, exploring new places, and socializing. I’m a textbook extrovert, and love getting out of the house for a new experience! I’ve been slowly working towards exploring 30 countries by my 30th birthday, and have been slowly making my way through the US East Coast.

Hello! My name is Laura , I’m a student majoring in education. I’m starting my travel journey and would love to learn more about other cultures.
Brooklyn has authentic, tasty foods characteristic of each neighborhood. As it’s large, there are more residential areas as well as a few unsafe areas the deeper south / more east you get. However. overall there’s a clear sense of culture and history behind the city. Be sure to check out Prospect Park, Brooklyn Heights, as well as the Williamsburg / Greenpoint neighborhoods for more tourist and newer attractions.
Posted: March 23, 2024I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Williamsburg. Walk down the street and find 10 things to do, most nights. Take the train to easily get from place to place. Lots of expensive shopping if you’re into that, or interesting window-shopping - that’s fun too. Some really cool vintage/thrift shops. Multiple small venues for live music. TONS of places to eat and drink. I have stayed at the Pod Hotel in Williamsburg several times, all good experiences, relatively affordable. Use common sense and you will be as safe as anywhere else in the country. Especially in Williamsburg, if you stick to the main streets after dark, you will be fine. There is a likelihood you will encounter street harassment, but nothing more than what is, unfortunately, common and to be expected. All in all, Williamsburg is interesting and fun, a good location to get to other places from, not super cheap - but you can try to stick with free events and activities, or window-shopping, the Pod Hotel is great IMO, and yeah…just go see New York, why not try Williamsburg.
