    A new angle on Brooklyn retail Page.2 Williamsburg: Turning retail on its head Williamsburg, as the leading cultural hub in Brooklyn, defines the trends and sets the standard for cool, while Williamsburg as a neighborhood defies definition entirely. Such a creative and fashionable epicenter does not earn its reputation simply through the radical street art, the swanky bars and restaurants, or even the gorgeous views of the Manhattan skyline. Williamsburg has built its unique sense of character and influence on the foundation of staying true to what is unequivocally you. Valuing the sense of self over all else and celebrating the beauty of the individual is quintessential Williamsburg. A new angle on Every side is my good side Located at North 6th and Berry, 109 N 6th claims a pivotal stake in the Williamsburg retail scene. Surrounded by some of the world’s most coveted Population brands and dining options, 109 N 6th is just 155,726 steps from the Bedford Avenue subway station which sees more than 27,000 riders each day.
