Neighborhood Vibe

Bed-Stuy is Brooklyn's brownstone capital — block after block of stunning Victorian and Romanesque row houses, many beautifully restored. The neighborhood's Black cultural heritage runs deep (Biggie grew up here), and the restaurant scene on Tompkins and Lewis Avenues has exploded.
