North 6th St Between Berry St and Driggs Ave

These two blocks, which intersect Bedford Avenue, are ripe with graffiti and street art.  Little alleyways hide all sorts of fun stuff to take a peek at. Of course, being Brooklyn, there's no shortage of fusion-Asian cuisine, bakeries, or bars to duck into. There's also the ubiquitous construction sites which are inevitable on every block now days as old buildings make way for new million-dollar apartments and condos. But still, despite the changes, these small Williamsburg streets appear to remain a safe haven for many of the smaller stores which would never survive in Manhattan's real estate climate.

I've begun to notice that the backs of crosswalk lights are a popular place for stickers and tags - I really enjoy this and will try to document them more frequently. There's a whole world of design to be found there!

(And for those wondering, the headline image is from a shoe store window. I can only assume they mean the shoes and not the people.)
