The Borough’s Best: 20 Brooklyn Neighborhood Superlatives
Bushwick
Marketers still like to sell Bushwick as the next great urban frontier, but if rents are any indication, the cat’s out of the bag on that one. Amenities and apartment quality may not have quite caught up to the neighborhood’s popularity and high prices, but if there’s one thing the neighborhood does right, it’s bars. Not a week goes by that we don’t hear about at least one new watering hole opening up somewhere between the Morgan and Myrtle-Wyckoff stops (and these days, even along the JMZ). It may not be the place you see yourself raising kids, but for now, it’s a damn good time.
