NY Mag Annoints Bed Stuy as the Next Hipster Destination
New York Magazine has crowned Bed-Stuy the city’s next hipster enclave, citing competitively priced (say what?) new construction like the Mynt, where one-bedrooms will start at $1,700 a month.

New York Magazine has crowned Bed-Stuy the city’s next hipster enclave, citing competitively priced (say what?) new construction like the Mynt, where one-bedrooms will start at $1,700 a month. (Interestingly, though the Apartments & Lofts agent quoted by New York is a big Bed-Stuy booster, the brokerage’s listings for the Mynt peg it as Clinton Hill, not Bed-Stuy.) The mag contends the neighborhood is primed to shelter all manner of hipsterdom priced out of Clinton Hill. Bed-Stuy Blog weighs in on the ‘hood’s new designation:
Clearly this is mostly a North Stuy phenomenon. I’ve noticed that the part of Bed-Stuy serviced by the G train line looks like it’s getting more and more Clinton Hill and Williamsburg spillover as each month passes. I have no problems with this trend, especially if it means that maybe one day those elitists at Fresh Direct will finally decide to deliver to the Bed-Stuy sections of 11206 (they seem to think only the Bushwick section of 11206 is worthy of their fine goods and services). Maybe by spring the North Stuy will be The Next…place to get a decent grocery store.
So much for starving artists.

Bob Marvin – what’s up with PLG? Mr. B has stayed away recently – any action post cop killing?
By the time New York Magazine finds out anything about what’s going one outside of its insular focus on Manhattan below 110th St, it’s already over. Their reports on Brooklyn are usually erroneous at worst, and laughably ignorant at best. They always seem surprised that ANYONE who is supposedly hip and happening, or has any money, would deign to live here.
I wonder who the chicks are in the photo. Damn, I’d totally hit that!
for 1.7k for rent in the hood is nuts. they must be smoking some good crack either by the Realtor or ny mag.
you could get a nice 1 br in some of the coolest areas of brooklyn for that price.
NY Mag’s prediction of Bed-stuy as the next hipster destination simply means that hipsterdom is over. Huzzah!
Same goes for the designation of Crown Heights(!) as the next yuppie enclave

This is totally unscientific, I know, but I have been noticing more hipsterish young folks along Bedford and Nostrand over the summer.
I have no idea if this prediction is correct, but IMO any correlation between NY Mag’s prognostications and reality is purely accidential. This is NOT intended as a negative comment about BS–only about NY Magazine, which I gave up on long ago.
Noted: Fresh Direct deigns to serve Bushwick. Is that really the only part of Bed-Stuy they’ll go to? Lame. I never order from them, anyway, because I want to pick out my own produce–and because the waste from all those boxes freaks me out.
