In what way would Williamsburg be the cultural heart of Brooklyn? I think there is more culture in other locations in Brooklyn.

The cultural center of hipster Brooklyn, perhaps—but not Brooklyn as a whole.

Queens would be either Flushing or Jamaica. Manhattan I guess Chinatown or Harlem.

Along with Williamsburg in Brooklyn and East village in Manhattan San Francisco and Portland Oregon are cultural hipster meccas. I can never say or think that Williamsburg is the cultural heart of Brooklyn. Brooklyn like much of NYC is divided by class, race ethnicity and economics.

Hipster or not, Williamsburg is one of the more diverse neighborhoods in Brooklyn though. At least I think. No other areas come to mind. Maybe Sunset Park?
