Oh Bushwick...what can we say. From the Puerto Rican flag-lined blocks, the Queen Annes on Bushwick avenue, the giant luxury living spaces, to the bars and murals on Wyckoff avenue, the neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn is a mix of the old and new New York.

The area, originally inhabited by the Lenape Natives, was chartered and renamed Boswijck in 1661, meaning "neighborhood in the woods" in 17th-century Dutch.

A working class neighborhood today, #robbybrender Bushwick is home to a pretty heterogenous population. Although Bushwick is the most populous Hispanic-American community in Brooklyn (mostly Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and other South Americans), the neighborhood is home to other longtime residents, transplants from other parts of the country, and immigrants from all over the world.

A friendly territory to Creatives, you can see the artistry bleeding through every street with murals, graffiti, music, and Bushwick's ever-growing nightlife scene.
