Bed-Stuy Gateway and the Fulton-Nostrand Revitalization Project

Lots of New Storefront Action

It's been a while since we've had a chance to really update this site with juicy tidbits of retail happenings in the Stuy, and we apologize. Please don't take our silence as an indication that nothing has gone on in Bed-Stuy Gateway, because as the following picture indicates, a place we speculated a year ago as a rumored site for a Dallas BBQ, has turned into a prime example of retail co-location: Gamestop and Children's Place - Genius! More news to come on other storefront developments.

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.
