Brooklyn On a Budget: How to Have Five Full Brooklyn Experiences on Less Than $20 a Day
Williamsburg
Oh, Williamsburg. There’s so much to do in you, and so much of it is so expensive! But if you really want to get a lot out of your Williamsburg experience, here’s what you should do. Head over to SummerScreen one Wednesday night (upcoming movies include Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, The Craft and Goonies) and plunk yourself down on the asphalt in McCarren Park, where you can watch an awesome movie for free. Plus, there’s some pretty good people watching during SummerScreen, so you don’t even need to like the movie to enjoy yourself, though that certainly helps. But what should you eat and drink? Well, SummerScreen has terrific vendors, including the vegan V-Spot and delectable sandwich maker Landhaus and the delicious Selamat Pagi. You can also take your twenty dollars and down a shot or two at the Gibson on Bedford, and follow that up with some cheese and bread that you get from Bedford Cheese Shop, and seriously? Then you’re set. What’s better than a belly full of cheese, bread, and well whiskey? Absolutely nothing.
