The experience

About this quest

Eat, treat and discover alternative meat by hipstering Williamsburg's streets. Sip some of the finest overpriced brewed coffees with travelers, locals and their dogs. 

Shop through trashed and treasured gear at local thrift shops with real-life hipsters, in the heart of the hipster world. You'll have the opportunity to rub shoulders with Brooklyn's most fortunate, entitled and less thrilled individuals as you cruise through some of the local hipster's finest hot spots. 

Trash or Treasure? You decide!

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Friends and young visitors into coffee, craft beer and thrift racks get a tongue-in-cheek Williamsburg stroll, from Domino Park past Devocion, Mother of Junk and Buffalo Exchange to The Levee. It covers 2.2 km in around 90 minutes and is free to play. If you want earnest history rather than gentle teasing of the hipster scene, or a live guide to ask questions, choose another walk.
