#bed-stuy

People have lived on Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue almost as long as there has been an Atlantic Avenue. It started out as a path leading to early settler Ralph Patchen's farm and then became a road to the East River. Part of it became known as Division Street, as it was the informal border between the town of Brooklyn and South Brooklyn, which included today's Red Hook, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens neighborhoods.

The Stoops Art & Community Summer Festival, now in its 12th year, takes place on July 26 from 1 to 7 p.m. on Decatur Street, highlighting community spirit.

The new bar, introduced to Bed-Stuy, is inspired by Mexico City and showcases cantina culture with hand-carved tables and agave-based cocktails.

According to the NYPD's officers driving the car, the cop car had its lights and sirens on as it was traveling northbound on Malcolm X Boulevard through the Macdounough Street intersection when its front end collided with two other cars.

The repair fund covers refurbishing bikes, and then we either give 'em away or we do a pay-what-you-want situation for them. It's a good stepping stone to being able to get around the city.
