Ridgewood Pl, Bushwick

The most obvious way to describe Ridgewood Place is that it is short. And short it is - running the length of only three short Queens blocks, this tiny little street is part residential, part commercial and part parking garage. Two out of the three blocks are occupied on the north side of the street by the back of a giant supermarket parking lot and the delivery truck bay is right against the fence and it gets loud. During the delivery rush, truck after truck turn down Ridgewood Place and fly into the parking lot. Another 20% of the street is occupied by ugly single car garages - rows and rows of them. Many more garages than houses. Strange. The good news is that it is a short walk to the supermarket and the Subway at Myrtle. The surrounding are offers a ton of places to get sundries but nothing remotely upscale in terms of dining or shopping. Rent in the area is still a bargain in comparison to other areas of similar safety and access to transit.
