Tucked away on a quiet street in historic Bed-Stuy, Tea Tree Cottage is a garden-level home adorned with the host’s own artwork and lots of wonderful books. Although, of course, this is not a cottage, it does feel like a little haven in the big city, especially with its garden. A real rarity in New York, the backyard is abloom with tulips and lush grass in the spring and summer and offers a great spot to kick back. Similarly, the neighbourhood springs to life and you'll find locals hosting summer parties and barbecues in their front gardens.

About Bushwick

Bushwick could be described as the younger, up-and-coming sibling of Williamsburg, its Westerly neighbour. If Williamsburg is now increasingly full of young families and increasingly affluent professionals, Bushwick still retains an edgy, less gentrified, artistic feel. Like many of Brooklyn’s once-undesirable neighbourhoods, Bushwick is emerging as one of the hottest new areas for young, artsy types and it’s easy to understand why, what with the area’s DIY art scene, independent...
