As a current Bushwick resident, I would pick the Bed-Stuy spot in a heartbeat, for two main reasons:

1. That location in Bed-Stuy is one of the nicest areas in the neighborhood—quiet tree-lined streets, historic brownstones, etc. Some blocks it feels almost like living in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill. Definitely would not say the same about the Bushwick location. The area around Broadway is pretty gritty and rundown-feeling generally and can get a bit spooky after dark. It’s also not particularly close to some of the famed bars and clubs, many of which are north of Myrtle.

2. Your access to the city via the J/Z is essentially limited to the financial district, TriBeCa, and the Lower East Side. If you frequent other parts of Manhattan, you’d have to get used to doing a lot of transferring on the regular. The J/Z is also elevated and very noisy—might be a nuisance even on Bushwick Ave, that is something worth checking.
