Where::
Williamsburg, a town made for the poet, the sensitive, the bohemian and the dreamer. A neighborhood whose crafty facades can serve as the background of a street theatre. A place where the sun is always out even when the rain invades the sky because the people and the energy of Williamsburg illuminate  the surreal streets.
Gypsies adorn the sidewalks with their numerous creations, poets bring out the libraries for a book exchange, ramblers open the back of their truck to sell vintage findings and vanilla painted ice cream trucks have spicy ice cream flavors you might not find anywhere else.  -Ginger ice cream anyone?
At night, bars ignite their magenta light and turn off their stereos to let you enjoy live jazz . Bartenders, waiters and vendors are young students and artists entertaining Brooklyn’s finest  until it is time for them to go out and play. Everyone is young in age.There is spirit in these New York blocks. You will be welcomed with a smile to their shop or studio.
