Summary: Geez, this feels like a lot of talk about Williamsburg, doesn’t it? Are you sick of it all, sick of yourself, sick of this world? No need to worry, because there’s a new Williamsburg. It’s Greenpoint!

Takeaway: A year from now, you can safely expect another list like this, comprised entirely of articles about Greenpoint.
