Cradled by that indefinable Brooklyn state of mind, Bedford Stuyvesant is a lifestyle, a fellowship, a historic community with a monumental identity. Popularly known as Bed-Stuy, the neighborhood, lined with Victorian homes, brownstones and limestones of olden days, exerts a strong pull on the neighboring artistic enclaves of Williamsburg and Bushwick, the ever-popular Crown Heights, Clinton Hill and Fort Greene, always reinventing itself and validating its historic narrative. A diverse concoction of ideas, people, and energy, Bed-Stuy is a bustling neighborhood woven into the streetscapes of Brooklyn, committed to its historic roots and landmarks, and intent on charting its own, culturally rich and exciting future.
