Two weekends ago, when our kids were home on spring break, we went on another NYC neighborhood adventure walk. This time we chose to check out Williamsburg because Bryan had read it was an affordable neighborhood to live in. ("Affordable" ... relative to NYC rents.)
Quick drive in, parked in the Lower East Side, and walked to the foot of the Williamsburg bridge. The bridge has an easily accessible, painted in pink, pedestrian walkway over the cars and subway track - far enough from the edge that acrophobia types comme moi could relax and enjoy the view.

Home to the "hipsters," Williamsburg was very eclectic with its young families, single twenty-somethings, and occasional corner drug dealer. Great access into NYC via subway or on foot. We found a trendy, dark restaurant for pints and lunch, then walked back across to our car in Manhattan.
