Real estate agents liked to call it "East Williamsburg" when technically for years no such neighborhood existed, it was just a way to get transplants to move into Bushwick.

If you're just wondering what do you tell friends, you could get away with saying it's East Williamsburg, but it really is on the border between the 2 areas.

Hope that answers your question.

That's not really what he meant at all.
