DAY 3 BROOKLYN BRIDGE WILLIAMSBURG

By August & Stavros

After our lunch at Chinatown, we headed towards Brooklyn and Williamsburg for some more adventure. 

However, the weather wasn’t quite with us.

It was raining wildly when we were going to Brooklyn Bridge. Some of us had bought some umbrellas, others went with their hoodies. It took us about 20 min to walk to Brooklyn Bridge from Chinatown

When you walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, you can see the Statue of Liberty. When we were there we almost couldn’t see the statue because it was raining and it was foggy. But one could still take some good pictures of her.

While we were halfway across the bridge some of us couldn’t handle the weather and headed home, we split up and others were going to the hockey game.

About nine of us went to Williamsburg which was a so-called “Hipster community”. It was much quieter than downtown Manhattan.  

When you are in Williamsburg, you quickly realize the huge amount of shops and cafés around the neighborhood. Most of them sell everything from old books to vintage clothes, even tibetan merchandise. 

After a little bit of shopping, coffee breaks and strolling around Williamsburg we headed to a food market at Grand Central station to get something to eat.

The food was amazing and when you walked in the court you got hit by all kinds of delicious, fragrant smell of food ranging from korean, italian, modern american and everything in between, a cozy way to end the day.
