Things To Do
Bedford Avenue
Stroll up and down Bedford to discover the peak of Williamsburg’s trendy shops and restaurants.
Domino Park
Meander along the stunning Domino Park walkway. This waterfront path offers beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline, providing a perfect spot for a leisurely walk or a relaxing pause. Soak it all up — equally beautiful at sunrise and sunset.
Smorgasburg Williamsburg
Dubbed “the Woodstock of Eating,” by The New York Times, Smorgasburg is the largest weekly open-air food market in America. Smorgasburg has incubated hundreds of independent businesses vending food and drink from around the world.
Artists & Fleas Williamsburg
Ranging from vintage clothing and art to artisinal jewelry and keepsakes, this repurposed warehouse is now a shopoholic’s dream of a one-of-a-kind shopping experience.
New York Theatre Workshop’s Becoming Eve
Matthew is a trustee at the New York Theatre Workshop — and we have seen many shows here over the years. NYTW always has something inspiring and insightful to offer. If you’re in the mood for an Off-Broadway night, Becoming Eve is running until April 27th. Show synopsis: A week before the High Holidays, three rabbis find themselves in a room fighting to save a family by building a bridge between orthodoxy and modernity. One of these rabbis is Chava, the child of a dynastic Hasidic rabbinical family and destined to become a leader of the next generation before the revelation of her trans identity clashed explosively with the strictly gendered world in which she was raised. As we jump through memory—and wrestle with theology—truths and secrets emerge that ensure no one will read the old stories the same way again.
McNally Jackson Books Williamsburg
This Williamsburg outpost of a SoHo original is worth a charming peruse if you feel like getting lost in the stacks while discovering some new gems.
Brooklyn Brewery
This hometown microbrewery has made headlines for its perfectly balanced lagers that can be found across the world — yet started right here in Williamsburg.
Bathhouse Williamsburg
Pop by The Bathhouse to relax and unwind. Located inside a former warehouse, there’s an array of pools and saunas to lounge in and/or you can indulge further in a massage treatment.
Peter Luger Steak House
What’s more iconic than this restaurant? Operating since 1887 and directly across from where we are getting married at Weylin, you will be hard-pressed to find a better steak or burger. What’s also iconic? It’s still cash only.
Westlight
Yes, it’s in our host hotel on the top floor of The William Vale Hotel — but plan to check it out whether you’re staying here or not. The meticulously crafted drinks are only topped by a side of fries you will dream about afterwards — not to the mention the 360 views.
