I don't like Williamsburg...I LOVE IT!
Whether you think hating brooklyn is cool, or loving brooklyn is cool, Williamsburg was definitely the place to be last night. Held together—almost literally, with big, pink X's taped on the sidewalks in front of participating galleries—by Joint Venture, a "collective of concept-driven exhibitions at various design-oriented locations," the Living Spaces Afterparty served as a kind of bug zapper for folks across both the East and Hudson Rivers. It was extremely pleasant to stroll around the neighborhood, and Mariko's Green Tea Royale at Supercore Café was a revelation. Here's a taste (of the design stuff).
