Streetlevel: Foccacia Spot Sprucing Up Bedford

Although it’s been open for nine months, pizza-cum-cappucino place Focaccino at the corner of Bedford and Lexington managed to fly under our radar until last week. Which is weird because the glass storefront does anything but blend in on this otherwise pretty bleak stretch of Bedford Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant. Blog Eating for Brooklyn wrote a quasi review when it opened last October; a few folks have weighed in on Yelp too, generally for the positive. “There are not many new restaurants in this area, but this one does a good job in adding to the anglofication of Bed-Stuy–for better or worse,” wrote one reviewer. Any readers stopped by for a slice and a cup of joe? GMAP
