Bushwick is getting a new, popular Philly fried chicken restaurant
Yahoo. The spot is called Redcrest and they open on Tuesday in the back of the Starliner bar. It looks delicious and if it’s good enough for Philly, then it’s good enough for us. Well actually, that’s not true, but we’re excited to give Redcrest a try: A popular Philadelphia fried chicken place called Redcrest will try […]
FREEwilliamsburg’s Top 25 Albums of 2019
There is something bittersweet about writing a Top 25 albums post at the end of a decade marked by so much change in music, the way its distributed, and the way it’s reviewed. The last thing I wanted to do, was rehash how algorithms have created our own individual musical vacuums for the thousandth time, […]
Greenpoint market The Garden closes unexpectedly after 25 years in business
This is very sad news to hear that this local Greenpoint staple has closed. The Garden’s owner says the store couldn’t keep up with online shopping and chain grocery stores. They shut down on Sunday and will be missed. From their Facebook page: It’s time to say goodbye and thank you. After 25 years in […]
Le Crocodile is now open at the Wythe Hotel
We still miss Reynard, which closed quietly back in September. Thankfully, we’re happy to report that a new restaurant has opened in the same space on the ground floor at the Wythe Hotel.

Like the Domino Sugar complex, the proposal is over-the-top, ambitious, and largely out of scale with the rest of the neighborhood. But now that the quaint, lovable Williamsburg of old is ruined anyway, we say bring it on. From Curbed: Developers […]

Now open: Pierozek bringing homemade pierogis to Greenpoint
Pierozek is having a soft opening today at 592 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint. The menu includes both savory and sweet pierogis, borscht, and croquettes. We couldn’t be more excited: Radek Kucharski and his wife, Alexandra Siwiec, do not think they’re coming late to the dance by importing a genuine Polish pierogi shop to Greenpoint, a Brooklyn neighborhood […]
We had a good run…
Websites change and so do neighborhoods. FREE Williamsburg turns 22 this year, which would normally make our spry little publication a millennial. Unfortunately, if you convert 22 to internet years it makes us, well, decrepit. When I first arrived in New York in September of 1996, I rented a sizable two bedroom apartment on 93 Berry Street, […]
