Bed-Stuy Holiday Shopping Crawl Set For Second Date In December

BED-STUY, NY — Fa la la la la, along Lewis Ave.

Christmas came early on Bed-Stuy's Lewis Avenue, which will host its second holiday crawl on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

All along the avenue, shops and restaurants will open their doors for last-minute holiday shoppers.

For gifts, Rococo Design Gifts between Jefferson and Hancock Avenues will open its doors for candles, fresh flowers, chocolates and a stuffed holiday stocking on raffle — all while you sip on free hot cocoa and chocolate red wine.

Down the street, Indigo Style Vintage will offer free ships while you peruse their vintage and custom apparel and gifts from Black-owned brands.

Sophisticate Loc, a natural hair and art salon, will participate as will Believers Gateway To Freedom Church, selling Jeannine's Cake and Catering.

Along the street, guest vendors like Ashaka Givens, Selena's Gourmet, jewelry designers, Sol Essentials, Miriam's Books and more will sell a range of unique items.

Of course, holiday shopping can really work up an appetite.

Thankfully, several Lewis Avenue restaurants will also serve up special holiday treats — like La Donna Re's, where you can taste banana pudding for free, and Peaches' southern comfort food.
