Your Exclusive Guide to Williamsburg!
Brought to you by the neighborhood experts at Cinch (a Wallet App for finding your favorite go-to spots)
Williamsburg is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in New York City. It’s got a vibrant art community, live indie music around every corner, popping nightlife, and is filled to the brim with cool and unique local shops and restaurants. It’s known for being a center of “hipster” culture, but in fact, the neighborhood is incredibly diverse. You’re just as likely to encounter a Puerto Rican grandma who immigrated here in the 50s as a bearded, flannel-wearing hipster who moved here 5 years ago.
Where to Find the Best Single Origin Pour-Over
Cafe Beit is owned and operated by baristas, so you know the coffee’s good. In addition to rotating single origin coffee, you can also find house-made specialty drinks like a “golden milk” made with turmeric, cinnamon, and nutmeg. If you’re not in the mood for a caffeine buzz, you can take a look at their craft beer and upscale wine selections.
Where to Go If You’re a Beer Geek
Beer Karma offers a wide selection of craft beers — so no Bud Light here. They’re a combination bottle shop and taproom with a rotating selection highlighting local brewers. You can find everything from barrel-aged, fermented sours, to hazy pale ales, to imperial stouts — and that’s just on the draft list. They offer 70 different bottles and cans to choose from, too.
Where to Cheer On Your Favorite Sports Team
Kilo Bravo is the very definition of a neighborhood sports bar. Come here to mingle with your neighbors, make new friends, and experience the thrill of a win (or the devastation of a loss) in a community of fellow sports fans.
Where to Find the Perfect Centerpiece for Your Wedding
Rosehip Social is a gorgeous, eclectic flower and plant shop with everything you could possibly need for your wedding… or just your apartment. Wedding flower arrangements are by appointment only, but stop in to check out their selection of houseplants, or if you need a bouquet for your significant other. They specialize in plants that thrive in difficult lighting — perfect for those of us living in apartments without much natural light!
Where to Find a Rare Vinyl Album
Norman’s Sound and Vision is a music and movie store with a huge variety of vinyl records. They’ve also got CDs, DVDs, and even a few cassettes. If you’re a vintage audiophile, Norman’s Sound and Vision has you covered.
Where to Get the Perfect Fantasy Cut and Color
Hair Metal Salon does fantasy color, undercuts, balayage, double process, pixie cuts, and more. Looking for a unique statement that’ll turn heads? Come on in. Nothing is off limits at this edgy salon. Not to worry though — they’re also aces at subtle, natural looks.
Where to Get a Precision Fade
For the guys, if you’re looking for sharp, fresh fade, look no further than Beard Barberia Cut & Shave. The barbers here specialize in razor-sharp edges and beautiful fades, and they do full grooming and hot shaves for your beard.
