    "Concerts, great restaurants and bars, smorgasbord and Giglio Fest are all great things about the neighborhood. The Williamsburg water front is great for kids to run around and play. There are loads of events in Williamsburg. Something I miss the most are the strolls in Mccarren Park. Also vintage clothes shopping at my favorite place."
