As a bordering Brooklyn neighborhood, Bushwick not only shares a northern border with the hip Williamsburg neighborhood, but the Queens neighborhood of Ridgewood.
The landscape of this geographical area has a direct relationship to its name. Having been purchased in the 1600s by Dutch settlers, it was laden with trees. The initial name bestowed was “Boswyck”, which came from the Dutch word “boswijk” meaning “heavy woods.” Over time, it evolved into the name Bushwick.
In addition to the geography and history, there’s much more to know about this neighborhood, including:
- The art scene. The creative life is alive and well in this neck of Brooklyn as many artists make their homes and livelihoods out of the area’s lofts. And, whether you make art yourself or have a great appreciation for it, you’ll be immersed in it here. There are a number of art galleries along Willoughby Street, including Microscope Gallery and the Stream Gallery, but you’ll find others nearby as well. As you take in the sights of the neighborhood, you’d be remiss not to notice the numerous street murals. Many were created by members of The Bushwick Collective, who also host an annual block party featuring artists and live music. Speaking of performances, there’s several venues worth checking out if that’s your bag. This might include making a night of it at the House of Yes where your participation is an integral part of the latest event. Truly, it’s always a vibrant day in this neighborhood.
- Getting your greens and vitamin D. In the midst of this urban art scene, you’ll still be able to find space to commune with nature nearby. The title of largest community park is taken by Maria Hernandez Park on the western side of the neighborhood. Stay active on the park’s basketball courts, fitness equipment, handball courts, and with your pup at the dog runs. There’s also WiFi hotspots there, so you could do some remote work in the great outdoors on a nice day. Taking up a full city block, Irving Square Park is a great place to take little ones to enjoy the playground or check out an event in their small performance space. Ensuring you get your daily dose of the great outdoors doesn’t have to take a lot of effort here.
- Cost of living. For what you get in this hip enclave, you won’t be paying a pretty penny — relatively speaking. The average monthly rent for a one-bedroom pad in the neighborhood will run you about $2,400, and the prices haven’t budged much in the last year. For reference, you could double the cost of rent to claim an address in nearby Williamsburg. This means you can live in a great neighborhood and likely have funds on hand to explore the rest of the city as well. The good news on that front is that getting around is relatively easy on public transit (another affordable way to get from point A to point B) by taking area buses or the J, Z, L, or M trains to where you want to go.
- Full flavor ahead. Another defining feature of the neighborhood is that there are new bars, restaurants and coffee shops opening all the time. For a fancy night out, try Faro’s upscale Italian menu offerings. Or, maybe you’ll want to scoop up an all vegan Ethiopian cuisine with plenty of fluffy injera bread at Bunna Cafe. Boasting one of the best slices in the city, Roberta’s is legend and a must-stop pizza shop. Then of course, you could make taco Tuesday any day of the week at the cash-only Los Hermanos Tortilleria on Starr Street. While this may just be a starter course for your dining experience in Bushwick, it’s good to know that there’s something to savor for every palate and budget in mind.
- Thematic and dramatic nightlife. Taking artistic license, Bushwick offers many adventurous nightlife options. When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, you may want to head over to the astrology themed Mood Ring on Myrtle Ave to do a reading of the bar menu. Maybe a throwback retro night at the supper club is in order, then a few rounds of pool and cheap drinks at The Johnson’s sounds like the right vibe. Feeling goofy? A game night at the dive bar Boobie Trap could be just the right cocktail of quirky and toy-riddled nostalgia you need. Here’s three cheers for finding a hot spot no matter what nighttime mood or fun you’re searching for.
