About The Neighborhood
or the past decade or so, Brooklyn has been called “The New Manhattan.” That’s because a hip, independent artist enclave now calls the borough home, and critically acclaimed indie restaurants have sprouted up everywhere, along with unique boutiques and flea markets.
Perhaps no neighborhood in the borough has seen as much of a renaissance as Bedford-Stuyvesant, called Bed-Stuy for short. Stuyvesant Heights, the area’s historic district and home of Akwaaba Mansion, thrives with ethnic diversity, a rich architectural heritage, and a central location that makes it easy to get to other hip, Brooklyn communities like Williamsburg, Clinton Hill and DUMBO. While in the neighborhood, stroll the historic streets, grab a bite to eat at Peaches, voted the best bar-be-que in the city, or a slice of pizza at Saraghina, a hipster hub that instantly transports you to chic Italy.
While in downtown Brooklyn, walk the promenade and enjoy one of the best views of Manhattan anywhere. And if you actually want to go to Manhattan, walk across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge to get there. Of course, you could always take the popular “A” train right from the inn, and be in Manhattan in 15 minutes!
