Stuyvesant Ave, Bedford Stuyvesant

Stuyvesant Avenue always reminds me of the descriptions in certain novels that focus on the bleakness of architecture on any given street. As many streets in Brooklyn it is only a one way street with parking on the sides of the street. Towards Gates and Stuyvesant traffic can get really heavy at times because there is a school nearby. Traffic hits peak volumes at this time. All the buildings have literally been converted into apartments from old townhouses. This neighborhood offers an easy access to Malcolm X Blvd through the side streets that cut through Stuyvesant.
