Great piece, very funny. Loved the pics and captions…people watching is so much fun! (I’m a vendor at a little market in Central FL…there’s never a dull moment once the crowds start to roll through.) Looks like Williamsburg Market has the who’s who of the woebegone wanderers, veritable virtuosos, & all things hip, in between. Ha, what fun!

Nah, they didn’t even notice!
Or maybe they thought the camera hanging around my neck was a fashion accessory, not a real camera! ;)

Ohhh hipsters! It’s so ironic that looking uncool, is now cool. So if people are trying not to look cool, does that mean they’re cool or not? I’m so confused haha. Either way that market looks awesome!

Hipster logic tends to be complicated… maybe Bill Cosby did serve as hipster inspiration at some point, who knows?! ;)

That one guy’s sweater looks more like Bill Cosby than hipster… Or perhaps Bill Cosby was the original hipster?!?!?!!

Oh yeah… I wish the food here was anything like in Bangkok! That would be a major plus for this market!! ;)

I can’t tell what came first, East London or Brooklyn. The similarities between the two have been so intermingled over the last 5 years. Nice detailed pics there.

Zara, some 10 years ago I actually used to live in Williamsburg, but back then there was no flea market and not as many hipsters. The area just used to be really cool and run-down with lots of underground stuff happening. Williamsburg has changed a lot in recent years, but not necessary for the better if you ask my opinion… :/
