Bedford-Stuyvesant

brooklyn

Affectionately abbreviated as Bed-Stuy, this neighborhood has reinvented its image and re-emerged as a true diamond in the rough. Residential streets feature an endlessly interesting mix of architectural styles — everything from Queen Anne to Renaissance Revival. Check out local foodie favorites like Dough and Saraghina, or sample some real Southern cooking, a (delicious) holdover from the Great Migration.
