Williamsburg: Brooklyn's Hipster Haven with a Sweet Waterfront Twist
Domino Park brings an industrial-chic stretch of waterfront to Williamsburg's East River edge.
Williamsburg is a trendy Brooklyn neighborhood known for its hipster culture, street art, and waterfront parks, with the L, G, J, M, and Z trains all stopping nearby.
Its waterfront landmark is the former Domino Sugar Refinery, built in 1882 and once the largest sugar refinery in the world. After the refinery closed in 2004, the site reopened in 2018 as Domino Park — a public green space built around the old plant's industrial bones, blending the neighborhood's history with its present-day appeal.
