Even though I have lived in Williamsburg for the past couple of years, I really haven't taken the time to explore much of Bushwick. I've been to parties and other events in the neighborhood, but each time I've just gone to that event and then straight home. So, on Saturday I went on a photowalk to finally explore Bushwick (along with the outskirts of Williamsburg, East Williamsburg and surrounding areas).

Exploring the edges of gentrification was pretty easy - a quick google search for tattoo parlors, coffee shops, along with keeping my eye out for graffiti murals led me to the center of all the hipster areas.

Green space is essentially non-existent, particularly along the stretch between East Williamsburg and Bushwick on Morgan Avenue. Instead, concrete and warehouses abound, with any open space dedicated to industrial use, as seen above.

Like a lot of trendy neighborhoods in Brooklyn, the heart of Bushwick is a mix of various ethnic areas, infiltrated by enclaves of hipsters who've recently moved into the neighborhood.
