Where to stay in Bushwick
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Bushwick Avenue is the spine that most choices here hang on, running past South Bushwick Reformed Church and the Bushwick Avenue Central Methodist Episcopal Church. Rooms cluster at the Williamsburg end. Stay closer to St. Barbara's Church and the district turns residential and lower, while the northeastern streets shade into Ridgewood and Queens within a few blocks of the door.
Microscope Gallery marks the arts side.
About Bushwick
What are the main landmarks in Bushwick?
Bushwick's list runs mostly to houses of worship. South Bushwick Reformed Church, Christ Evangelical English Lutheran Church, and Immanuel Congregational Church stand within the same few streets, and the Bushwick Avenue Central Methodist Episcopal Church adds a fourth to the row. St. Barbara's Church anchors the group.
Away from the pulpits, Microscope Gallery keeps a contemporary programme, and the Peter P. and Rosa M. Huberty House survives as a piece of the district's older domestic building, with Ridgewood Park just over the northeastern edge.
What is the history of Bushwick?
Congregations wrote most of Bushwick's record. South Bushwick Reformed Church, Christ Evangelical English Lutheran Church, and Immanuel Congregational Church stand as the district's named public buildings, spread along the avenues that run down from Williamsburg toward Bedford-Stuyvesant. The boundaries did the rest.
Ridgewood and Queens took the northeastern side, the cemeteries of Highland Park closed the southeast, and what was left is the Bushwick that visitors walk through, church by church.
