A good area to walk around and just experience anything you meet. From traffic, to base balling people and of course shops!

We spent a weekend in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and had a most enjoyable time. It's a great place for walking, people watching, eating, and hanging out. There's so many cafes, restaurants, and great places to eat outdoors and inside. Some nice parks, and a great waterfront overlooking the Manhattan skyline.

Thus neighborhood was a bit of a disappointment. We went on a recommendation and didn't find it to be a quirky or interesting as we were led to believe. Disappointed we headed over to Dumbo the next day and had a much better time.

It's a big neighborhood and known for its hipsters and hip establishments. I chose to do my wandering in a decidedly unhip area, the southern edge which is a Hassidic neighborhood, exclusively. Margaret Mead would love to do some anthropological research here, but for the tourist it's drab. Head north for the fun.

Just a quick subway ride from Manhattan on the L train to Bushwick and then after walking around there seeing street art and having a beer & a taco hop back on the L train to Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg. It was quiet on a Friday afternoon to just wander the street. Grabbed a NY slice at Joe's Pizza, had a beer, took in more street art. The Mona Lisa of Williamsburg is the most well known mural, 4 stories high. The photograph was submitted into a contest by a 17 year old in 2014. Domino Park is a real delight to walk, same architects who designed the High Line and Little Island. Just wonderful views of the Manhattan skyline. I had walked the Brooklyn Bridge before and DUMBO so this time walked back to Manhattan on the Williamsburg Bridge. It's noisier but not crowded. I've been to NYC many times so really enjoyed doing something I hadn't done before. I have heard though that it is quite busy on the weekends here.

It is fun to pop in and out of shops, restaurants and bars. The people watching is great. Skip the plan and walk the day away. Due to COVID most restaurants have a nice outside area setup.

This town is the best for ease of walking to numerous shops, restaurants, waterfront and everything NY has to offer, but on a smaller scale, Check out the Vintage stores, amazing!!

Cool neighborhood, an extension of the east village if I may say but with a different feel. Really great restaurants for lunch and brunch, love the vibe you just feel the creative energy everywhere and there are authentic Mexican food trucks almost at every corner in these streets and a huge food scene option in general. Loved it! It's the center for Brooklyn's Airbnbs, a lot of french people have made it their headquarters so you'll hear a lot of french speaking while walking around. Plenty of nice spots to take photographs and the best brands have shops in the area. The easiest way to go there is to take the train and the nicest way is to take the East river ferry, it's cheaper than any taxis, Uber and faster with a view on the NY skyline.

How far in distance is Dumbo from Williamsburg
Ed S
Brooklyn, NY140 contributions
Dumbo is a couple of miles up the coast of the East River on the Brooklyn Side. It is past what was called the Brooklyn Navy Yard along Kent Avenue. The Main Street of Williamsburg is Metropolitan Avenue. There are bistros and restaurants in the area and also the famous Steak House called Peter Lugers.
Many other restaurants and pizzerias are in the area.

Mio figlio vive a Wiliansburg, ma non sono ancora nonno e sinceramente l'unica cosa che posso suggerirle è quella di prendere il traghetto e passare una bella giornata con sua figlia a Manhattan tra i grattacieli ed i negozi di giocattili della 5th Avenue.

We stay at Hotel Jolie. The hotel is very clean; beds are very comfortable. The Continental breakfast that is included is more than ample. They offer free parking. Two of our favorite restaurants are next door( Bamonte's and Llama Inn). It is very convenient to the subway as well. We just stayed there last week and will continue to go back!

What's the distance between Dumbo area and Williamsburg? Is it walkable? What are best places to stay to pub crawl Williamsburg?
Daisy Rodriguez
Brooklyn, NY117 contributions
Dumbo is located at Downtown Brooklyn near to Brooklyn Bridge. You have to use public transportation if you want to get there from Williamsburg, and about pub crawl Williamsburg it's so much places to do that, all over the area. I hope my answer help you!

I know of only the 3 I've visited -- the roof lounge at the hotel McCarren Park, on N. 12th St., the restaurant club Berry Park, on Berry St., and the lounge at the Wythe Hotel, on Wythe St. and N. 11th St.
Try googling rooftop lounge bars Williamsburg Brooklyn

TRANQUILO !!! Muito mais do que Manhattan. O destaque especial é para Williamsburg, que é muito "cool", com lojas de "grifes locais" e poucas "lojas de marcas gigantes, marcas consagradas". É considerado (ainda) um bairro hipster, muito seguro e ótimo para caminhadas, conhecer arte e comida local, seja no bom Smorgasburg (Brooklyn Food Flea Market) ou no Artists and Fleas, que está no caminho do Smorgasburg. Atenção: antes de ir, confirme na web se a feira de comida está sendo realizada. É somente nos finais de semana (Williamsburg aos sábados e Prospect Park aos domingos) e algumas vezes não "rola". Boa viagem!
