Neighborhoods
Ranked #4 in Coolest Neighborhood in the WORLD by Timeout for 2020.
Bedford-Stuyvesant is a vast Brooklyn neighborhood filled with historic brownstones and Victorian architecture. The neighborhood's leafy streets and classic brownstones have made it a favorite for residents and tourists alike.
Bed-Stuy is home to countless restaurants, bars and businesses. It is always bustling with life and energy. As Brooklyn is becoming more and more commercial, it's one of the few neighborhoods that maintains that real BK culture, charm, and community.
