OK, really it's a Bushwick! It's called Hackney.Artists, designers and young bohemians in ever-skinnier jeans are getting priced out of nearby Shoreditch, and opening bars, clubs and galleries in this gritty immigrant enclave.

I mean, maybe not—maybe Hackney really is hoppin', hell if I know. But I do know that this is about the lamest, sappiest story ending ever:
