Bed-Stuy's Retail Chic

The Little Red Shop.  Brownstone Books.  Ibo Landing.  These are just some of the names of new shops that are popping up in Brownstone Bed Stuy and the buzz is buzzing.  Bed-Stuy is "Chic" - or at least on the north-south avenues in Bed Stuy, according to the New York Daily News.  Published on October 20, 2005, reporter Tracy Hopkins profiles some of the more unique shops that have populated such thoroughfares as Lewis Avenue and Tompkins Avenue, which traverse the interior of residential Bedford Stuyvesant.  Let's hope that more of this exciting, mom and pop retail action can make its way down to Fulton Street and Nostrand Avenue.
