The Bushwick Collective

The neighborhood of Bushwick in New York is experiencing stark and rapid change, with a burgeoning aesthetic war between local tradition and an emerging professional presence. We take a closer look at this up-and-coming cultural neighborhood, with a comprehensive list of 10 things to do and see in Bushwick.
Covered in hip-hop-influenced graffiti is Roberta’s, a popular local Italian-inspired dining establishment in Bushwick. Don’t let the exterior deter you – urban decay becomes haughty elegance as you enter this surprisingly chic restaurant. Business casual attire seems status quo, and patrons are seated by bohemian yet professional hosts. The pizza is served in pies rather than by the slice, with additional meal options like coffee-roasted beets or cabbage and sea lettuce salad. Roberta’s is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, with weekend brunch and takeout available until midnight.
