J.Crew hits Williamsburg:
Williamsburg’s transformation from hipster haven to upscale shopping and dining destination has been in the works for so long that it’s almost surprising that J.Crew is only arriving now. “We’ve been looking at Williamsburg and Brooklyn as a whole for quite some time,” Lyons (J.
