'''Bedford-Stuyvesant''' (pronounced STY-vess-ent, often known as just '''Bed-Stuy''') is a well-known neighborhood in the borough of [[Brooklyn]] in [[New York City]], [[New York]]. For decades, it has been a center for African-American culture in New York City, experiencing a recent cultural revolution similar to the [[Harlem Renaissance]] in the neighborhood of [[Harlem]] in the borough of [[Manhattan]]. It is also notable for being the birthplace of many notable Americans, mostly [[hip-hop]] artists.
==Bedford-Stuyvesant in Popular Culture==
Part of the Tom Wolfe novel ''Bonfire of the Vanities'' was set in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The entire Spike Lee movie ''Do The Right Thing'' took place along a single block in Bedford-Stuyvesant and is somewhat autobiographical (considering that Spike Lee grew up in the neighborhood).
