Bundle up, and discover the little gems and gifts your local community has to offer at the Holiday Crawl, Bed-Stuy style!
Bridge Street Development Corporation presents its annual "Bed-Stuy Style: Holiday Crawl," on Saturday, December 16. The crawl celebrates the small businesses and artisanal shops from Central Brooklyn's bustling business corridors and offers a wide array of goods - and gifts!
Participating businesses include Bed-Vyne Wine & Brew, Tilly's, Life Wellness Center, 500 Men, Sanctuary Gallery, Casablanca, peace & RIOT, and others, along Bedford Avenue, Tompkins Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard. Bridge Street offers complimentary luxury shuttle vans along Malcolm X Boulevard and Tompkins, Bedford, and Lafayette Avenues.
Small wares, clothing, art and accessories, food and drinks, this special holiday crawl leaves little left to desire. And, if you need a break from all the shopping and crawling, don't fret: the neighborhood's eateries will help ease the "holi-daze" with food and drink specials, accompanied by performances and presentations from local, independent artists.
Tilly's will host live performances, an open mic portion and a talk on masculinity and the arts featuring Dasani Ahanu of TV One and Kwebana Foli of Flowered Concrete, bosted by Marlon Rice. DIY-creators and graphic artists A.V. Perkins and Khia Jackson will be featured at peace & Riot for a panel regarding non-traditional small business concepts, DIY and hip hop. 500 Men Making A Difference are hosting the Black NYC Holiday Expo at Magnolia Tree Earth Center with guest speakers, local artists and businesses.
