Bushwick, which be fairly easily reached by the L line, reminds lots of people of Williamsburg in the early days, but that comparison can be misleading. For one thing, Bushwick makes Williamsburg look tiny by comparison, sprawling as it does across multiple subways stops and lines. To simplify things a bit, I'll stick here to some of the great places to be found around the Morgan subway stop. The area, technically called East Williamsburg but also known as Morgantown by some folks, has huge warehouses and windswept streets, but the many artists and art galleries give it a chummy, community feel you don't find many other places in NYC. (It's also, unfortunately, rough in some parts, so like anywhere else interesting in New York, be aware of your surroundings. Muggings and other crimes do occur here.)
To find out about more about what's going on in the area, including gallery openings and concerts, check out the highly useful BushwickBK and its culture calendar.
