"Nothing special, residential area in a less-than-awesome neighborhood"
This street is almost purely residential; there's not much happening here. As it is located in Bed-Stuy, I wouldn't recommend a visit to this street for anyone from out of town. Bed-Stuy has gotten increasingly safer in recent years, but it still remains a place where a lot of low income families live. Therefore the surrounding shops and bodegas aren't of the highest quality.
I often drive up this street when returning to Bushwick and the drive isn't too bad, though there are a few potholes here and there that can be taken care of. If you are driving expect to find yourself behind a number of buses, as this is a route often traveled.

"On Lewis Avenue"
Lewis Avenue is a simple street. I like this area a lot and think that it very easily accessible and good place to live if you’re thinking about moving to New York City from anywhere in the country. I think that this street, which is filled with small businesses and residences, and a nice calm fluid feel. All in all, this is a nice street and should be considered on your move to NYC.
