As you may have read in New York Magazine, Time Out New York, the New York Times, and other such publications, Stuyvesant Heights (the Historic District within the larger Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn) – known worldwide for its magnificent architecture, tree-lined blocks, flourishing community gardens, and as home to such significant cultural figures as Lena Horne, Max Roach, Chris Rock, Eubie Blake, Shirley Chisholm, and countless others – is in the flowering of a new cultural and commercial renaissance. Shops, restaurants, boutiques, galleries and cafés are popping up faster than one can keep up with, and there is an influx of new residents who are turning this historically Black community into a truly diverse enclave of progressive people of all backgrounds.
Despite this tremendous transformation, however, it maintains a charm that can be experienced by strolling down one of its many quiet, safe, leafy, beautiful blocks.
