Hancock St, Bedford Stuyvesant

Most streets in Brooklyn are lively, full of street performers, entertainment, and aspiring artists. Though Hancock Street stands out from them all. And at 501 Hancock Street sits Big Eyed Productions, dedicated to all of this. Big Eye Productions is such an amazing place to visit, and to be a part of. They focus on bringing Blues music to the community and preserving this classic sound and culture.

There are a lot of businesses on this street and a lot of activity. I was really impressed with some of the businesses I found and the general feel of the street, which felt a little more like Manhattan than other streets in Queens. You can also get here fairly easily by the metro (Myrtle Avenue, L and M train). All in all, it’s a convenient place to live. Also, there’s a school here, so if you don’t like kids, stay away!
