With a mix of apartment buildings, warehouses, and converted artists lofts, East Williamsburg is part gritty industrial area and part rising creative quarter. Often mis-identified as Bushwick, and sometimes colloquially referred to as Morgantown or Robertasville, East Williamsburg is quickly developing an identity of its own. With plenty of street art, hidden away DIY spaces, historic buildings, tech enterprises, and trendy new shops, East Williamsburg is a place of constant flux, and a happy home for many a self-made creative individual with hustle and heart.

Humboldt & Jackson is a homey spot serving quality foodie food, the best drinks, and a relaxed vibe (I once overheard the bartender say, “One thing we're not allowed to do here at Humboldt & Jackson, is judge.”) So it's not too fancy yet there is a real attention to detail here. Everything on the menu is cultivated with craft and taste in mind. There's a big event calendar on the wall announcing various screenings, kitchen take-overs, and one-off themed menus showcasing local purveyors. All-in-all it's part bar, part restaurant, a little different every time, and always first-rate.
