Meet Leonora Russo, the 89-year-old "Queen of Williamsburg." The fashionable gal has lived in a rent-controlled apartment on North 11th street for 66 years, and her younger days sound like they were pretty similar to those of the trust-funder transplants living in the area now: "I didn't do nothin', I was married. I lived my life. I lived a beautiful life. I came from Manhattan, I wasn't born here. When I was a young girl, at night I wined and dined with my husband." [DNAinfo]
