Explore the neighborhood
Since the days of Jay-Z and Lil Kim, Muhammad Ali and Chris Rock, all former residents of Bed-Stuy, the area has changed a bit. Young professionals and burgeoning artists have moved in. It keeps its original community feel, but Bed-Stuy is growing with the changes. Cafes, small eateries, boutiques and nightlife spots are changing the feel. Places like Peaches Hot House, Dough, the vintage store, Harold and Maude and nightspots like C’mon Everybody keep the neighborhood true to its eclectic roots.
Herbert Von King Park (Tompkins Ave. between Greene and Lafayette Aves.) was designed by the world-famous team of Frederick Law Olmsted (this famous design duo created Central Park and Prospect Park, as well) and it’s just about 2 blocks from the house. Prospect Park, Brooklyn’s biggest park, is 20 minutes by car, 20 by bike, a half-hour distance by public transit.
