An eclectic mix of African American, African, and Caribbean coffee shops, fine clothiers, fresh markets, bakeries, and restaurants, the Bed-Stuy Gateway not only serves your daily needs, but is also a vacation from the ordinary! Click here to visit our image gallery.

From ribs to escovitch, and bright dashikis to steel drums, the colors and smells of Fulton Street will leave you wanting to come back for more. At night, you can hear the masjid’s call to prayer and in the morning, church bells echo off of historic brownstones and pre-war apartment buildings. Cars cruise buy pumping out the latest soca, funk, dance hall, and hip-hop, and your neighbors still ask how your parents are doing.  

A thriving part of brownstone Brooklyn's rich culture and history, there is something for everyone in Bed-Stuy. Community development efforts by the Bed-Stuy Gateway Business Improvement District, along with our partners, have been instrumental in bringing new development, services, restaurants, and retailers to the district. In addition, the area has benefited from a multitude of positive attention by the local and national press.  Families, artists, entrepreneurs, community advocates, non-profits and arts organizations proudly call Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn ‘home."

Bed-Stuy is serious about attracting and supporting local business. With the formation of our official Business Improvement District in 2009, ratified unanimously by the New York City Council, we are ushering in a new decade of growth, upkeep and community support services.
