Buh-Bye Do or Die BedStuy!

Currently, I reside in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn famously known as “Do or Die Bedstuy”. The best thing about my neighborhood are the friendly people I encounter on my way to the train, grocery store or my favorite local spot: Colador Café. Colador is this cool, eccentric cubano-style coffee shop with mismatched furniture, funky jazz music playing in the background and amazing coffee! The people are always very nice and there are always great flyers to stay up-to-date on the local happenings.

This weekend I am very excited though because I am moving to Boreum Hill. It is situated in a triangle of cool neighborhoods I enjoy: Cobble Hill, Downtown BK and Fort Greene. It is also right next to Clinton Hill that offers the best doughnut shop you will ever experience cleverly named “Dough”. You have never had a doughnut quite like these before. They are large, fluffy and infused with magical flavor combinations. Try the café’ au lait, passion fruit and cheesecake ones. They are my faves.

But my new place will be right off Atlantic Ave and 2 blocks away from the happening Smith Street. I am sure to find cute boutiques, kitschy cafes and antique stores galore. I look forward to discovering zehood through exploring trendy hot spots, meeting new friendly faces and sharing with my zeLocal friends what my hood is all about.
