Nice. I've relocated to Williamsburg a couple of months ago - South 4th and Bedford. It's a good spot. Right by the bridge - I bike it every morning to work. How long did you live here?
Lived in Williamsburg for two years from 2000 to 2002. Diner was still a new place when I arrived, and it was about the only place I ever went to on your south side (other than Lugers once). The neighborhood has obviously changed a lot since then.
Once, about three years ago, I was meeting a girl at a bar in your hood called Southside on a Friday evening down under the bridge. While I was walking down the street, I was asked by one of the Hassidm to come up to his family's apartment to turn some lights on. (Shabbos.) I agreed, and was rewarded with some nice homemade brownies and clementines. That same night I met the bass player for Evanescence at that bar, and some of my friends (not me) went out with the full band the next night after their show for the quasi-rock star treatment. It's an interesting hood you live in.
