Hipster Hotel

The Wythe Hotel opened in Williamsburg, Brooklyn last week and it looks to be a good time for both tourists and locals alike.  I joked with my half-asleep fiancé last night that I wanted to spend our honeymoon in their top floor loft.  From their website:

“this room has floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook Manhattan, and a private staircase leading to a private, 200-square foot terrace for an outside view of the skyline. It has one king bed, a standalone pedestal tub, lounge space, and a full service minibar. It sleeps 2 and is 725 square feet.”

Sounds like an awesome getaway for me, I mean us.

Old School, New Bank

This is one of the strangest buildings in Brooklyn as far as I’m concerned.

Sure, it’s a normal looking bank, but its location seems to always throw people off quite a bit.

It just doesn’t belong among the buildings, graffiti and BQE on-ramp that surrounds it.

Clearly, the bank needs to be visually vandalized to better fit into the nabe.

Everything else around it is pretty cool, though. Enjoy the pictures..

I do realize that some of the graffiti may actually be younger than this newish building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, but it’s the old school aesthetic versus a cookie cutter pseudo-modern strip mall debt store presence that makes people react to disgust when they see this thing the first time.

Are these people famous or just really cool hipsters?
