Top 10 Concerts & Shows in Williamsburg, New York (NY)
It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Nitehawk Cinema is New York’s premier dine-in theater, pairing exemplary first-run and repertory film programming along with tableside food and beverage service. Nitehawk strives to enhance the cinematic experience with a creative framework by providing a specialty menu with fresh, local ingredients inspired by the films we love; archival 35mm projection; and special guest Q&As. Every month, we offer several Signature Series programs each concentrating on a different corner filmdom including new work from New York filmmakers (Local Color), grindhouse oddities (The Deuce) or country bands paired country movies (Country Brunchin’). Our weekend brunch and midnite repertory screenings span a wide range of films, from 35mm rarities to new independent features. Each of our screenings begin with a house-made thirty-minute “pre-show” filled with content inspired by the film.

Love this quirky little theater! Tables are for 2 and waiters are very attentive and quick about serving drinks and food. We had wine, beer and a bowl of Nighthawk popcorn ($9 for a relatively small bowl). I read other reviews that said waiters were in the way, but ours moved so quickly and ducked down low so were never obtrusive. It must be a real workout to be a server there! The setting felt different and fun - like we had discovered a hidden gem in the middle of Brooklyn. We will definitely be back!

From the outside, this place looks terrible but once you get in, it is actually a nice venue to see a show. There are basically two levels. One level is the main room for the concert. Standing room only but there are places on the sides to lean against if needed and I needed it. Downstairs are fairly clean bathrooms and a large bar area. A good place to hang out between acts with ample seating. The sound was good and overall an enjoyable experience.

Fun, two-level warehouse type venue. I was there for the I Heart Radio Anderson.Paak concert. I don't like assigned seating anyway so it was great to get as close to the music as I wanted. Two bars that were fairly efficient, a coat check, and everyone was great apart from some heavy-handed security guys.
