To the editor,
You ran a story on your otherwise excellent Web site about a new tapas bar on Grand Street that referred to that part of the neighborhood as “East Williamsburg” (“Our first-ever Williamsburg tapas smackdown!” online, Feb. 25).
As someone who grew up in Williamsburg, I have had enough with “North” Williamsburg, “East” Williamsburg and even Greenpoint!
The real “Williamsburg” is between Rutledge and Penn streets and south of Broadway to Bedford Avenue.
Please point this out to the faux Williamsburgers in the north and east. The south is where it’s at.
If you had your way, you would create a “West Williamsburg,” too — but that would put you in the river.Ron Kuntzman, Williamsburg
