Cook St, Williamsburg

This street is relatively small; it ends abruptly on each side of Bushwick Houses, a massive collection of low income housing projects. On the northeast side of the gap, this street serves as a potholed collection of warehouses and service stations. Crowded during the day it is not, and it is even less welcoming during the evening hours, though there is a loft community of hipsters nearby.

The southwest side of the gap is a bit more happening - there is a school located here, so there are often kids playing basketball on the outdoor courts, and it intersects with an especially lively section of Graham Ave where there are a lot of cellphone stores and cheap clothing retailers.

With schools, restaurants, and small service-oriented businesses, this street is "cooking" with activity! I really liked the look and feel of the street and of the neighborhood, with its lively atmosphere and packed streets. Brooklyn has a wonderful flare, and if you're thinking of moving to this neighborhood, you should really look into Cook Street!
