About this Neighborhood

Bushwick sits in the northern part of Brooklyn, bounded by Ridgewood, Queens to the northeast, Williamsburg to the northwest and Bedford-Stuyvesant to the south and southwest. The population is 129,239. The commercial base is deep on both sides of the ledger: 59 restaurants and 40 grocery stores, plus 11 coffee shops, 9 parks and 3 fitness spots. Forty grocery stores is the number that separates this from most places, meaning daily food shopping is a corner errand rather than a trip. Yelp reviewers rate the area 4.9 across 1,385 reviews, with Lady Moo Moo Ice Cream, YoFresh Yogurt Cafe and Sunday C&C Eatery leading. Foursquare's read runs cafes, coffee shops, delis, pizzerias and Mexican restaurants by day, cocktail bars and bars after dark.
