Video doesn't show the side streets. There are some beautiful houses and apartment buildings in Bed-Stuy and many houses go for well over a million. Crime has been at or near all-time lows for several years now. So it's really nowhere near as bad as many commenters here, who are apparently shocked by seeing a community full of black people going about their daily business on regular urban streets, seem to imagine.
Many of the people commenting here have never lived in a diverse community of working class people like NY. I don't think theres a more diverse place than NY. It really is the crossroads of the world. I grew up seeing blacks whites asians hispanics all going about their business on a day to day basis. Rush hour buses and trains are packed in the am and pm with all sorts going and coming from work. People outside of NY don't understand.
I'm a 38 year old tall white male from Canada, who stayed in Bed-Stuy twice in the past year. Walked around everywhere, even at 4am. Never felt unsafe even once. In NYC, if you walk and seem like you're in your own world, nobody bothers you at all.
I visited New York for the first time last September. I took the subway to Brooklyn and walked around for a bit. It was just like the video shows. People going about their business. It reminded me of southern Dallas.
For some strange reason this is so satisfying TBH I just feel great seeing Brooklyn again I moved out east on Long Island and I miss Brooklyn so much man
@@jumpman366 were you even alive in the 70s 80s and 90s? LOL this is a hell of a lot cleaner than back in the day. 70s and early 80s were the worst as I remember them.
I lived on Halsey Street off Fulton before leaving NYC permanently. Never looked back. Now I farm in Virginia, raise my own chickens, hogs, and beef. I miss the old New York, but not the new NY. Way too much static.
then it will be a mess with the last arrivals looking at you like you didn't make the place what it is like you dont belong there. Last arrivals making a mess of the flow as usual. I like it and hope no hipsters or whatever change anything and keep the firk out. It's all we have left its ours. its what we grew with. our jewel
I love Bed Stuy.. Real people out there I always walk through...The energy on Nostrand and Fulton and beautiful in the summertime. shout out to Brooklyn. -Bronx Bomber-
William Estrada , , , The Democrats and Jews are making sure that this is coming to a small town near you. (They're pricing them out of the coastal states as we speak).
I live in Mexico,, I have always wanted to travel to new york because I have always thought its a really fantastic city,, but watching all these videos,, I see not that much difference between these streets and the streets of the capital of Mexico,, and everything looks so gray and well,, it doesnt look like what I thought the streets of New York looked like!! :(
+terector1 You are truly an idiot. There are good and rotten sides in every city, and this video focuses on the more grimy aspect. The posher sides of NYC where are the wealthy live are fantastic - that's why it is a global city, and one of the top (if not THE top) city in the world.
Dont be discouraged. I have been to nyc 13 times all they way from Europe.NYC is a fantastic city but in my opinion stay only in Manhattan.Whenever i tried to go somewhere else i was so much frightened, so i left
Not unlike downtown Los Angeles, when I had my condo at San Pedro and 5th, and where walking was always an adventure. One noticeable difference is how much cleaner the Brooklyn streets are. Although Los Angeles has the BID (Business Improvement District), the armada of street cleaners and trash picker uppers could barely keep up with the amount of discarded debris. Denis, what were you using for video capture? Moderately stable, pretty sharp, good capture - good enough for UA-cam. Thanks.
+43520tom Social housing projects and cheap rent. And cheap rent is for poor, who cant afford anything, so local shops close because no customers, and then kids have nothing to do so they start crime because they are bored
That area was nothing but grey concrete and if you go back far enough, horses and shit was all over the street. Black people built businesses despite being poor, renovated the buildings, planted trees, and brought a vibrant culture.
this is fulton in 2013. i think i spotted one white dude. fulton in 2017 now look like fucking greenwich village or some manhattan area full of hipsters walking around. i feel like i should recreate this video with a up to date video for comparison.
I love Brookyln BedStuy . Fulton Strip was live especially around Nostrand Ave this was like downtowns Harlem. Im a Bronx cat that went through every lane and was shown love in Brooklyn and we broke bread and sharpeneth iron. Shout out to Brooklyn forever.

Right across the street from where you stopped recording , is where i get my vegetables at. Shout out Chungs market, right next to the fish spot! hahaha
Street scene with winter's bones and winter's hues, trudging through the concrete gauntlet - I like that. Denis, what did you use to capture the footage, and do you recall the settings (4K)?
it's AWESOME to be rich/well-off in the big Northeastern cities like NYC, Philly, Washington D.C. etc......but otherwise, it's like you said, dirty and over-crowded. that's why so many working class people from NYC and Philly are moving down to Florida or Texas, where there's more space and cheap suburbs....it gives you a chance at peace, quiet, and a piece of property to call your own, even if you aren't rich.
Fun story: In 2009 me and my family visited New York from Ireland. My father booked accommodation. Our accommodation ended up being located in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The first night we got there we turned on the news and heard that a man was murdered on our street. A few days later in the subway of NYC we asked a female black subway worker for directions home, when she found out where we were living her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She told us we weren't safe there at all. The next morning I woke up to my dad desperately searching for alternative accommodation. We ended up staying there for the remainder of the holiday. When I think back, I didn't see a single white person around there during the entire stay. It really was like living on a street from The Wire. I always remember everyone staring at us on the subway there. We were so fair and pale must have looked like a different species to them.
Wow. The Downtown Los Angeles that I've escaped from is brought back into my bedroom through this East Coast version, with the grimy streets, the street vendors, Radio Shack, and McDonald's. Fond memories, nevertheless, thanks for the clip. Did you use a selfie stick? The stabilization looks pretty good.
stan saw a vid of downtown LA like damn shit dont look like the stuy to me in my oppinion i know why u would say that watching that vid tho lol it did remind me of 125th in Harlem with the fiends n all lat
I'm from Bed Stuy born and raised and I used to live there for more than 20 years and then I moved out of the hood and now I'm living in Cypress Hills also in Brooklyn.
isnt Cypress hills hood too? I know theres some cute domican joints over there. Props for staying in Brooklyn, and not leaving the whole city like some cowards
I grew up in bed stuy when my family moved to ny in 1955, ny was mostly black and puerto rican. There wasnt, for yge most part, any racial problems. People were to busy trying to make a living to pay rent and keep food on the table. I !joined the military in 1980 and never returned to nyc, but the memories are still with me and l do miss people .
Jack Straw Rosa isn't very bright Jack. I grew up in NY too, a lot later than 1955 though. I grew up in the 90's. black and Hispanic people were always clashing. Shit Dominicans and Puerto ricans were always fighting. This fake news that Hispanic and blacks get along is just that, fake news.
Uploader24 Polak? You’re an ignorant moron. Not Polish but ok. Anyway you’re so full of shit you can’t even wipe your ass. Yes where I lived in NYC blacks and Puerto Rican’s were at each others throats. And other Hispanics too. Don’t get me started on the beef between Puerto Rican’s and Dominicans. Foh like u know shit.
This area has changed so much since this was filmed almost 6 years ago. The bodega at the corner on Nostrande Ave is no longer there just a bunch of scalfolds for more new artisan shops and luxury 'can't afford it' living. The empty shop near Golden Krust (:12 secs.) is now Burger King. Most of the side businesses either have changed or no longer there. You'll see a lot more white hipsters now. Welcome to Bedstuy 2019.
These kinds of videos will be fascinating to watch 20 years from now.

Scalley Wag there are tons of whites in bed stuy. This video is too short n narrowly focused to see them.
For some strange reason this is so satisfying TBH I just feel great seeing Brooklyn again I moved out east on Long Island and I miss Brooklyn so much man
That guy is walking like his shoes are three sizes too big for him
They're ugly as hell too
😂😂
Ole girl with the stroller tho
Gotta use the sales.
You're making me remember my childhood. It's like walking through a dream.
The streets are so much cleaner than they were years ago. Your camera work is remarkably good.
Damn! I was looking at this video thinking the Bronx is dirty s hell. This is clean?

Queef Micester lol more jewish haters it's the Catholics that are to blame.
I love this video, one of the best walk thru videos of bedstuy yet. This was take in 2015-16 holiday season. Keep up the good work!
Fulton and Nostrand is my favorite street corner in the United States.
You know.. there's other McDonalds
thank for the uploads I'm Houston Texas but I've always wanted to see what New York city is like for people who live there
That last scene is the “Crooklyn” block. The movie was filmed there, I was lucky to see some done in person.
This is where biggie should’ve stayed instead going back to Cali Cali
Love and miss NYC. Gonna get back as soon as I can.
In the words of Billy Joel, he walked the Bedford-Stuy alone.
And then he rode his motorcycle in the rain.
I live in Mexico,, I have always wanted to travel to new york because I have always thought its a really fantastic city,, but watching all these videos,, I see not that much difference between these streets and the streets of the capital of Mexico,, and everything looks so gray and well,, it doesnt look like what I thought the streets of New York looked like!! :(

it doesn't even look bad.
They have kept the same brick buildings from the 1800s. St. Louis, MO is the same thing. Brown and gray city with very few new buildings
Come to Phoenix there jobs and senioritas everywhere. To hell with NY.
Когда в 80 х смотрел на кадры из жизни Нью Йорка, то это был совсем другой мир, сейчас же все как то оскудело , люди какие то потерянные .
это точно но тайм сквер дождливым вечером всё ровно впечатляет ))
Back in '85, the Bed-Stuy was simply terrifying.
Lol... Do you think it was worse than Harlem during that time?
I was stranded in the combat zone, I walked through Bedford Sty alone ...
For you probably.
@@cleer2804 Damn straight.
Nah If you didn’t look or act out of place you were fine
Nice,I was born in Bklyn.......
Fulton street is famous.....

That was a nice neighborhood in the 30s,40s,and 50s I wonder what made it a dangerous shit hole? any guesses?
+43520tom Social housing projects and cheap rent. And cheap rent is for poor, who cant afford anything, so local shops close because no customers, and then kids have nothing to do so they start crime because they are bored
Crack
Just like every other place where they congregate.....Detroit; Oakland; East St. Louis; Chicago; Watts; South Central L.A......etc....etc.....etc..
Lack of proper integration, capitalism and bad social policies, to name just a few reasons
That area was nothing but grey concrete and if you go back far enough, horses and shit was all over the street. Black people built businesses despite being poor, renovated the buildings, planted trees, and brought a vibrant culture.
This reminds me of Macgarthur Park (Westlake) in Los Angeles between Alvarado and Union & 3rd Street to 8th street. Same exact "look"...

Title should say - “Walking on Fulton Street”
Excellent footage.

Hey, man, can you do longer video? This is really cool. Can you walk for 30 minutes video? That would be awesome .
Crazy, I grew up right around the corner... totally different now
