The Burg of Willies, Brooklyn.

One thing we don't do enough is brush off our cool and jump on the L train at 14th Street and bust it over to Williamsburg in Brooklyn. It's a lazy four stops from my place to Bedford Ave, the Hipster epicentre of the world. I'll never be that cool but at least i can kick back an enjoy the coffee to be had in the hood.


A couple of weekends ago Tracy and I headed over there to aimlessly wander and take a few snaps of the street art which is quite prolific in this area. We had lunch at a great little back street cafe and then headed down to the river. The Brooklyn Flea market has set up a new site which specialises in food on Saturdays. It was really an amazing place. There were dozens of food stands and they were selling all manner of gourmet food. An absolute must visit if you're into that scene. By far the most popular stand was the frozen bananas which were dipped in chocolate. The ribs and lobster rolls also looked amazing. 


I'll defiantly be back but this time I wont eat before going there. Also has an awesome view back to Midtown, Manhattan.





One of the vendors was being filmed for a documentary.
