City trip Williamsburg
© Anika Apenbrink & Zahara GallardoIn recent years, more and more young New Yorkers have moved to districts outside Manhattan. They have deliberately sought their place here - away from the hustle and bustle and the pressure of a never-sleeping city. In WilliamsburgBrooklyn, just one metro stop away from Manhattan, created new opportunities for development. Where decrepit factory buildings lined the streets only a few years ago, bright lofts and large-scale art galleries are now emerging. At that time, crime was high and rents were low. It's different today. Williamsburg has become home to the young, creative elite New York developed.
