About Bedford Avenue

Bedford Avenue is the centrepiece of Williamsburg, Brooklyn - New York's most celebrated neighbourhood for independent music, street art, artisan food, vintage clothing and creative culture. The surrounding streets burst with record shops, independent coffee roasters, designer vintage boutiques and the legendary outdoor Smorgasburg food market on Saturdays. The Manhattan skyline view from the East River waterfront is exceptional.
