lorimer market is another good butcher in the area..its on lorimer, a block or 2 south of meeker..old school italian type butcher..vino i remember the theater on rodney and bway..now they park detached trailers in the lot..i wonder if the chapel of love thats on graham between meserole and montrose was a movie theater back in the day

Lorimer Market is great - their hours are pretty inconvenient though.

um I guess the walgreens on Union ave doesn't count as Willamsburg? Seriously there is more to willamsburg than shitty bedford ave and McCaren Park. And for all you people crying for a move theater where the hell where you when the knocked the theater on broadway and rodney? Oh may bad it was in 2006.

man my grammer and spelling sucks.

move=Movie

the=they which=hasids.

will those Duane Reade workers be unionized? Oh, right- hipsters only care about causes abroad, rather than in their backyard. Hell, they won't even participate in the census.

what makes you think that?

Where else would these goofy hipsters get their Adderall and Lexapro?

where are they getting it now?

You all also forgot to the whole we live in the burg so we will stick our noses in the air and walk around like our shit dont stink.

For the love of, please stop reporting on this neighborhood. It is so 2001.

We're not all hipsters here in Williamsburg, some of us just happen to like living in a neighborhood without a ton of chain stores. Unfortunately that appears to be coming to an end. I'm sure Starbucks and Chase/Citi will be next.

I wouldn't mind a Trader Joe's however. And for the record I am not an Ohio transplant. I'm a native originally from the Bronx.

Really, you're concerned that the average hipster might think he's better than you? That's kind of sad.

Fuck Williamsburg. Maybe if you stop reporting on it, all of the kids from the mid west will invade another neighborhood, and the families that live there and have for years can have some peace and quiet. Not to mention that the hipster odor will hopefully go away with the reporting as well.

Not so keen on the area myself. Some good bars. Nothing great. Mostly a great place to go to parties.

With all the babies these hipsters are churning out, I can see Chucky Cheese not far behind.

Imagine the bike parking out front. The organic cheeses used in the pizza. The fair trade sourced wooden skee-balls. The NYU "gutter punks" drinking racaously next door, but politely holding doors for the parents. The douches from Murray Hill, wandering forlornly from Brooklyn Bowl, to Radegast, to stand huddled in front of Chucky Cheese, while their girlfriend's go hipster hunting in the Levee, or smoke cigarettes in McCarren and ogle the boys and their bikes.

"The fair trade sourced wooden skee-balls."

+1

a- what's wrong with chucky cheese? it's not like there is anything to do in north brooklyn if you are under 18 but eat in restaurants. though i suppose if you had the time you could just go to the chucky cheese on northern blvd.

b- it would be rad if chucky cheese started caring about the environment and the people in it.

haha! that was pretty accurate

you forgot doing key bumps in the bathroom at Royal Oak.

so every neighborhood from park slope to the uws can have a duane reade or cvs except williamsburg? just checking.

also, we need a movie theater. badly.

so, there really needs to be 4 chain drug stores in a neighborhood that doesnt have a good butcher, fish store or decent grocery store?
