As someone who works for The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, I know how often this old battle is brought up. There’s always a joke or two on social media each day comparing hipsters in Brooklyn to history aficionados in Virginia. Let’s settle this once and for all, shall we?
YAHOO! recently featured this epic battle on its Travel page, and while it gives valid points on how both can be great, it’s really no contest, is it? I mean, I know I’m biased for my city, but Williamsburg, VA was once the capital of the Commonwealth. Was Williamsburg, NY? Nope.
New York always boasts about its food, but have you had the dishes the chefs all over our ‘Burg create? Not just Colonial Williamsburg chefs have it going on!
And YAHOO! uses celebrities to make the case for Brooklyn. We’ve hosted Betty White and the Queen of England. The Queen! And that’s just the tip of the iceberg as far as celebrities go.
So really, Virginia is for lovers and our little city is the clear winner.
