Does it matter? Yes and No. The film was great and very interesting and I definitely enjoyed it. I too am a resident of Bed-Stuy (2nd generation and raising 3rd generation children) and watched the video looking for my neighborhood but I saw Clinton Hill. It’s important to me that we name the neighborhoods correctly because we are actually already losing some of Bed Stuy to redistricting. Parts of Bed Stuy near Myrtle Avenue are now included as Williamsburg. So in that sense, yep. It does matter. You are also right, the story would be and is the same in part of Bed Stuy – some more pronounced than others: Stuyvesant Heights for example. The difference is that we are experiencing it right now whereas Clinton Hill has for the most part gone through their gentrification already (not at all saying it isn’t still going on). The film maker would have had an opp to speak to people who were experiencing it raw for lack of a better term. Perhaps they will do a part two and really take a look at Bed Stuy. I would definitely watch that as well.

I was really impressed by the Bed Vyne guys at the tasting party. They seem to get it (quality product, respect for the community, willingness to grow with the market)! Happy to see them come to the neighborhood.

When will they open?

Does it matter? I can tell you, as 3rd generation Bed-Stuy resident, the sentiments expressed in this video will be mirrored by anyone you speak to in Bed-Stuy about their experience. And it’s only very recently that anyone regarded the area as Clinton Hill as such. There is a lot of overlap in this video.

I watched the video. It was great. But this video is about Fort Greene/Clinton Hill not Bed Stuy. Additionally, gentrification in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill has been happening for over 20 years. It’s Bed Stuy that’s in the midst of it right now. I would love to see her do a video of Bed Stuy and its impact on this neighborhood.

As always, when deciding on where to live, it’s always a good idea to walk around the neighborhood, generally around the times you’d be coming to and fro the most often (to/from work, late night). Get a feel for the neighborhood, surroundings.

Comment on Melanie’s Get Examined by Roc by Melissa Danielle

Melissa Danielle — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 04:54:15 +0000

I stopped going into Melanie’s years ago because of inconsistencies on the menu and for mediocre food.

First off, only Guyanese and Trinadadians know roti, so if the cooks are neither, it won’t be authentic. if you are looking for roti, your best best is to walk down the street to Ali’s, on the same side.

I primarily would go there for smoothies. Before the expansion, they had a big menu, but everytime I went, there was also something missing from one of the blends they offered.

I’d spend 5 minutes or so just reading through all the options, only to finally pick one and have the guy tell me they were out of one of the ingredients. After at least three more unavailable choices, I’d finally break down and ask, “Well, what DO you have?” and would have to settle for whatever he told me.

This happened EVERY TIME I went in.

I’ve been there about five times.

A girl can only take so much.

I have a Vita-Mix now, so I don’t bother.
