An's Guide to Brooklyn - part 1
my favorite food & sight-seeing spots - good vibe + worth your time
Welcome back to An’s List and to part 1 of my Brooklyn Guide! If you’re new here, I’ve lived in NYC for a little over 2 years. My first apartment was in Bushwick, a neighborhood in east Brooklyn, and I lived there for two years. Last month, I moved to a different neighborhood in Brooklyn, and it’s been such a nice change of commute and living pace. I love it here much more, and so far, I’ve already had a handful of spots that I frequent.
In case you’re wondering why you should trust me, my NYC google maps looks like this. You can also scroll through my Tiktok for content in video form as I also share a lot of my NYC travel recommendations there!

Williamsburg, hands down, is the spot to be these days. It’s filled with a hip crowd both locals and tourists, trendy boutiques, cute cafes, bars, and restaurants. It’s also kinda a hot spot for apartments just because of all of the above plus it’s very close in distance to Manhattan. Domino Park, McCarren Park, and Bushwick Inlet Park are some of my most frequented parks. If you’re interested in learning about my apartment-hunting journey this second time around, I shared about it here. I’ve looked at some apartment in South Williamsburg and Greenpoint, and under $3K apartments near the train with decent living amenities is almost impossible to find.
