Once among the city’s most industrial neighborhoods, Williamsburg emerged as the gritty epicenter of New York’s counter-culture in the late 1980’s. The plentiful supply of dormant factories and warehouses served as a useful landscape for many of the city’s most significant and pioneering visual artists, musicians, poets, and experimental theater. By the late 90’s, Williamsburg became an international icon as a “hipster-haven” and a hotbed of youth culture.
