Union Pool is probably THE go-to hipster bar in Williamsburg. Drink's aren't as cheap as they should be, and it's usually a crowd. Go there to dance with people, and maybe make out.

One of the best and largest bookstores in NYC. One of the cheapest too! It's hard to not find something you'll like at The Strand, and you'll probably save more money here than you would anywhere!
