1) Williamsburg
Surprised? I didn’t think so. Williamsburg was the most mentioned neighborhood in the Times last year. This was due to a lot of things, including the reopening of McCarren Pool and the attendent drama (which wasn’t even all that dramatic, and mostly involved pool poop), style pieces on man buns and the like, and, oh, just a million other trend stories that the Times loves to do and that we love to complain about. Williamsburg was not always this popular though, back in 1981 it was only mentioned a measly 71 times. That’s like about as many mentions as it gets every Sunday in the Styles section now.
