Bedford-Stuyvesant Neighborhood Guide: Part I--Calaca, Bedford Hill, and Dough

Bedford-Stuyvesant (or Bed-Stuy, or that neighborhood south of Williamsburg, north of Crown Heights, and east of Clinton Hill) is the best place to live in Brooklyn these days ("up and coming" is the term of art). Lots of new restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and other types of places are opening every week. Since I get to live here, and since Eve and I eat out pretty much every night because we are footloose and fancy-free about our sodium, I get to see it all happening, and I wanted to share some of my favorite places, which still seem "underground" in the giant jumble of delight that is NYC.
