Bedford Stuyvesant Neighborhood Guide: Part II, Daily Press, Brooklyn Kolache Co, and Pilar

Here's the first part of the guide!

1. A friendly, airy little coffee shop worthy to hit up before hopping on the C or S: Daily Press. They have movie nights and game nights, and amazing spicy cheddar-chive scones (baked in Brooklyn by Colson). The staff is really cute. And they're right by the Franklin C train. 505 Franklin Ave. Website here.

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.
