~ To the next stop on your tour, the living diorama of COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG. Here you can sample the sights and smells of ‘New Yawk’ without ever having to step outside your post-collegiate comfort bubble! Witness the summer spectacle: a cavalcade of colorful ‘New York characters’ engaged in their vanishing neighborhood habitat. You newly minted ivy-league sweethearts and edgy postpunk ‘loners’ will strut by the stoops, street-fairs and bodegas of the urban wonderland, coming so close to actual ‘Brooklyn Types’ (“Italians,” “Puerto Ricans,” and “Jews”) you can almost touch them! Be careful, though- there is a chance they will try and pierce your bubble if you step beyond this year’s ‘safe zone’ we previously discussed. Be sure to enjoy the daily local events happening all along the tour route—
1) Indie-Off Opening Ceremonies (feat. Big Sunglass-Off, Twee-Off etc.)
(10am ~ Bedford and N. 7th)
2) The Pale-Off aka Can you pass for a Pole?
(2pm ~ The American Apparel Greenpoint Gate @ McCarren Park)
3) Bicycle Jousting (sundown ~ Kent Ave)
4) Locally sourced candle-dipping for singles (multiple locations)
Williamsburg – where it’s never not 1994.
