Should they choose to offer this important course again, here are some details. It costs $55 (food and subway fare not included in the price), and promises to put you smack dab in the middle of the disaffected, cultural vitality of the gentrified neighborhood (which they claim is referred to as "the New SoHo").
Students (by the way, there is no credit for this course — figuratively or otherwise) are encouraged to "Browse through vintage clothing and housewares that will inspire future fashion and lifestyle trends. Discover up-and-coming artists in Brooklyn's diverse galleries. Sample a great selection of restaurants, coffee houses, and family-run bakeries."
Soooo, basically, you just paid a $55 subway fare. [via FreeWilliamsburg]

I'll do you one better kids: I've got a decent eye for style and color. But don't know Williamsburg from a zit on my ass. Pay me $40, and we can take a personal, one on one, discovery tour of the neighborhood. We meet at Union Square. Hitch a ride on the L, I'll tell you what to look out for. You can browse. Shop. Buy me lunch. It will be an educational trip to last a lifetime. Happy endings are extra. Call me!
This is the funniest thing I have read all day. Whoever took this class is a sucker.
Whoever goes to FIT is probably a sucker too
it's sure better than a private college.
no...it's really not.
Thanks, Jen #2, but we all already know about FreeWilliamsburg... No need to endlessly rip-off their posts (especially for a non-news item that happened weeks ago).
But hey, while you're at it, check out Williamsboard, too! Maybe you'll find some insignificant post there that we've all missed (or not) and is worthy of stealing to "up" Gothamist's snark-level.
Or whatever.
Wait, this information WAS ALREADY SOMEWHERE ELSE on teh internets?! Cancel my subscription, Gotham-missed!
What a silly, worthless photo!
FIT is so behind the curve. Don't they know the "The New Style Frontier" is Cleveland, the 6th borough.
sorry NYCSniper, we don't "all already know about FreeWilliamsburg" because we aren't all hipsters like you. so it's funny to read about wannabe hipsters getting taken for $55.
I heard that for an extra $10 each a street gang will attack the tour group with machetes.
Note to self - RE:Williamsburg - Bring baseball bat.
The course should be called "Williamsburg: Styles to Avoid" or maybe "Williamsburg: Welcome to the Costume Party."
um, williamsburg is kind of a freak show.
might be "normal" to you people, and i don't know about the $55, but it's probably worth studying.
First, they cool thing was to be in Williamsburg. Then the cool thing was to hate Williamsburg. You people herd yourselves around from one trend to the next and are too stupid to even realize it, hipsters and non-hipsters alike. Just do what you like, mind your own business, and shut the hell up.
right, and you're neither a hipster, nor a non-hipster. get over yourself.
That was my whole point, you moron. GET OVER YOURSELF!
It is still cool to hate Williamsburg. Spoiled ass white suburban kids driving up rents and acting as if it is their priviliged playground. Fuck them and their self styled Disney-esque version of New York. It is not all cool and peaches and cream.
Yeah, but Williamsburg is REALLY ugly. I don't understand why anyone wants to live there anyway.
If you are not already aware of Williamsburg style, or that the word "hipster" went out of style 10 years ago, then you probably shouldn't be in fashion school.
