Is Queen Street E & W (for Toronto people). Rich bankers, trust-fund hipsters, still a few artists/media peeps, and German tourists. The food is only OK - better in Brooklyn (Court Street), but as long as you have 1950s eyeglass frames, you can saunter along the grittiness and enjoy yourself. Lots of posters around to tell you what is happening, but the L magazine will list most events open to outsiders. Take the L to Bedford, and get out and wander. Pop-Up galleries change a lot - you see what's up at 33 Grand, where we married lots of hipster couples last summer.
You can set aside a hipster tour agenda for Williamsburg, the Lower East Side, Astoria (if you have friends to help you find stuff) and Red Hook, which has the advantage of great views and some fun bars. Plan on late evenings. Red Hook has no real transportation, the rest is on the subway line.
