Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY

Hipsters started flocking to Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood in the early 2000’s, and in just a few years the area has become the ultimate boho-chic spot. As housing prices soared in the area due to its popularity, hipsters started moving to more affordable yet equally cool neighborhoods in Brooklyn, such as Greenpoint and Bushwick, and spreading the lifestyle. There’s now a bunch of farmer’s markets, hundreds of cool bars, and dozens of organic restaurants all around the borough. However, Williamsburg is still the place to catch a show at one of its hundreds of venues (ranging from small holes in the wall –check out Pete’s Candy Store–, to larger spaces like Brooklyn Bowl), get a drink, or even get a haircut (an expensive one, that is) in an old garage that doubles as a trendy tattoo parlor. Round up the experience with a trip to beautiful Carroll Gardens, family-friendly Park Slope, and even up-and-coming Downtown Brooklyn neighborhoods.

Lobby at the Aloft New York Brooklyn

The ultra-hip Aloft Brooklyn draws adventurous travelers with hip, edgy decor, playful amenities like a billiard table and cocktail bar, an indoor rooftop pool, and guest rooms filled with modern conveniences — all at a rate usually well below the Manhattan standard. Plus, it’s an easy subway ride away from Williamsburg and other hip Brooklyn areas. The Lobby is the perfect place to mingle and socialize with fellow hipsters. It has an industrial feel to it, with exposed pipes, concrete floors, and open spaces; lots of comfy seating, and a pool table.

South Congress Avenue, Austin

Austin is a kooky mix of straight-laced business types and creative artists, but it’s the hip, trendy vibe that dominates here. The city is famous for its art culture and decidedly alternative vibe, and it draws young hipsters for its renowned festivals such as SXSW and City Limits, laid-back style, great food, bike-friendliness, and active nightlife. Known for vintage clothing boutiques, funky clubs and restaurants, and a lively music scene, South Congress (SoCO) is arguably the trendiest area in town.

Jo’s Coffee at the Hotel San Jose

The 40-room property, originally built as a motel in 1939, incorporates a stylish, minimalist design and sits at the center of Austin’s SoCo neighborhood, a trendy area known for great music.

Urban-chic rooms have modern wooden platform beds, polished concrete floors, paisley bedspreads and flat-screen TVs. It’s an excellent boutique pick overall, and is especially popular during the South by Southwest music festival. The original Jo’s Coffee, a shack-style spot popular among young Austinites, is located across the parking lot from the front door. It offers locally roasted Cuvee Coffee, baked goods from Quack’s Bakery, and yummy sandwiches.

Street in Palermo Viejo, Buenos Aires

Palermo Viejo used to be a pretty run-down area in northwestern Buenos Aires where few tourists (and locals, for that matter) ventured– But the early 2000’s brought extensive gentrification, and it is now a trendy hotspot where artsy Portenos and tourists mingle in shaded squares and laid-back bars housed in old warehouses and factories. Street art covers the walls of small, decaying buildings lining narrow alleys, and it’s not rare to peek through an open door and find an art exhibit or an impromptu music show. There are a myriad funky bars, local restaurants and bohemian boutiques selling everything from hand-crafted jewelry to local designer clothes –especially in Palermo SoHo, the more-gentrified, chic area in the neighborhood. Palermo Viejo, located north of SoHo, is quieter, but boasts an active nightlife and charming cobblestoned streets perfect for a stroll in between cold Quilmes.

Pedestrian street in De Pijp, Amsterdam

This quaint, working-class neighborhood located south of the Canal Ring and within walking distance of the Museum Quarter is arguably the hippest district in already trendy Amsterdam. The area is popular with young locals, who pour to De Pijp on weekends to enjoy brunch in one of the multiple sidewalk cafes or roam the famous Albert Cuyp Market, where one can find the freshest vegetables and fish in Amsterdam, as well as clothes and even kitchenware.

Portland is not only home to dozens of music festivals, some of the nation’s best breweries, and hundreds of restaurants focusing on sustainable, organic, local ingredients– it’s also one of the most environmentally friendly cities in the U.S., where well-kept bike lanes and an extensive public transit system make it easy to move around in a sustainable way. Downtown is laid-back, multi-cultural, and very bike-friendly, so for those who want a real hipster experience, that’s the place to be. Young Portlanders like to keep it mellow, and there’s a ton of cool, hip bars where you can grab a craft beer, especially in the Pearl District area, and enjoy some quality live music. For a good cup of Joe, Stumptown Coffee Roasters is a favorite hipster spot.
