In nearby Greenpoint, Franklin Street and Manhattan Avenue are teeming with funky and eclectic shopping destinations.

Tips: The Brooklyn Flea's giant food market Smorgasburg camps out on the Williamsburg waterfront on Saturdays from May to November. Sample delicious, artisan food from over 70 local vendors.
