Who knew Bary Manilow grew up here? Williamsburg just got a little bit *cooler.* From men.style.com:
Q: You didn't have a lot of money growing up."Copacabana" after the jump, but don't do it on an empty stomach.
A: Oh, none. Zero. Zip. Nothin'. I come from nowhere Brooklyn, New York. Williamsburg, Brooklyn. These days Williamsburg is kind of a hip area, but when I grew up there, the taxi drivers wouldn't even go over the bridge, it was so dangerous.Q: So you were the original Williamsburg hipster.
A: I wasn't really a hipster. I was a geek.
