In an epic bid to determine, once and for all, which NYC neighborhood is the hippest, Tale of Two Cities tallies the number of listings from each hood listed yesterday on Craigslist. A sampling of the results:
Red Hook: 100He concludes, "So there you have it, folks. Something called the 'Upper East Side' is blowing away the competition when it comes to popularity. It's roughly 350%* cooler than Williamsburg! Go out there and buy buy buy buy buy!"
Fort Greene: 154
Long Island City: 174
Lower East Side: 1,522
Harlem: 1,778
Williamsburg: 2,955 (including the 575 entries for Greenpoint but not including the six entries posted for "Williamsburgh." We're not that generous.)
Upper West Side: 9,605
Upper East Side: 10,443
