The "L"ame train to Williamsburg 
 "Go Back To Greenpoint You Onion Eater!" 

That's what a young man yells to a fellow dock worker in an opening scene from the film  "On The Water Front" which was shot in parts of Williamsburg's Naval Ship Yard. 

Two years ago Fox Five News rated Williamsburg as the 2nd most toxic neighborhood in the Tri-state area.  Some place in New Jersey took first place. 

Last year the Utne Reader called Williamsburg, Brooklyn the 3rd hippest place to live in North America. 

Last month TimeOut New York or TONY as they like to be called, did a spread on Williamsburg hot spots.  Many names were dropped and a bright future was eluded to. 

Currently: 
It's the first stop in Brooklyn on the "L" train.  Kids "in the know" hang at the back of the train.  You'll know if your in the right car if it looks like MTV's "Road Rules".
