What Bed-Stuy is Thankful For This Year

Share your holiday thoughts with us!

It's good to take stock on Thanksgiving Day — that's what it's for after all — and people in Bed-Stuy are thankful for a lot this year.

In particular, Bed-Stuy residents told us on Facebook that community institutions, be they local businesses or gathering places, were the things they were most thankful for.

Reader Danie Descoteaux said: "I'm thankful for the Bed-Stuy Y, where I always see happy children, and there are always so many wonderful community-oriented events going on, from learning about access to health care to classes on graphic design!"

The Y wasn't the only local institution that got a shout out. Bed-Vyne Wine and Bed-Vyne Brew also got shout outs. 

Reader Kristi Harper said she was most thankful for Von King Park, since "it provides endless beauty and occasional escape from the mayhem of the city."

Now's your chance to let us know what you're thankful for this year. Share with us in the comments!
