Brooklyn's Best
Hipsters, rejoice. If you want to visit- and stay- in Williamsburg and don't feel like couch surfing, check out the new Wythe Hotel. Located in a former textile factory with to-die for views of Manhattan, the hotel has all the hipster cred that you would expect, including bikes to borrow, exposed brick walls and "bunk bed" rooms that are meant for rock bands. The in-house restaurant, Reynards, is run by the team behind Marlow and Sons, so expect plenty of nose to tail dining, with meat roasted in a wood-burning oven. There's also a cocktail lounge, the Ides, serving up vintage inspired drinks. And no matter what you do, don't forget your skinny jeans and sunglasses. Doubles start at $179. Wythe Hotel, 80 Wythe Ave. at N. 11th Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 11249.
