Bed-Stuy West

by 
Ramona Todoca

With beautiful, tree lined streets, rows of brownstones, summer BBQ block parties and avenues bustling until the early morning hours, Bed-Stuy is charming and vibrant. Its richness lies in the incredible diversity of both its long time residents and the recent newcomers. Together, they make Bed-Stuy feel like an authentic NYC neighborhood, complete with kids dunking on concrete basketball courts, dog walkers, calls to prayer, colorful African Caribbean dresses, open flea markets, mega-laundromats and hidden restaurant gems.

This surprising, beautiful garden is a splash of color in the middle of a brownstone row on the busy Bedford Avenue. Designed to function both as a gathering and performance space, the garden not only enchants the senses with peach trees and rose bushes but also grows some healthy organic vegetables. Feel the gravel crush under your feet or spend a little time lounging on the lawn—you will feel recharged.
