in the lounge Williamsburg Lizzie Stern

About This Show
It’s 2019 in Brooklyn and the L train is shutting down. Since their childhoods, Sophie, Sam, and Lucy have watched their beloved Williamsburg change, but they’ve never witnessed anything quite like this. A horde of uberwealthy-DIY-microbrewing-horseriding pioneers conquers every block in the area, enforcing a rugged and puritanical lifestyle that is frighteningly familiar. As Williamsburg, Brooklyn becomes Colonial Williamsburg, our heroines search for a way to fight the most surreal wave of gentrification ever to hit New York.
