Hello Bushwickians…Bushwickers….do we have a name? Well, I do, and its Matt. I am the latest addition to the BushwickBK.com stable of bloggers, and I wanted to take a quick second of your day to introduce myself. I am 23 years old and recently moved to Bushwick with my boyfriend. We came from Arizona via Connecticut, which is a story in and of itself, but suffice it to say we’re happy to be here and we’re loving Bushwick! A little bit about myself – I am currently unemployed (hoping to change that in the next few days), I love to read, cook, and blog, I enjoy walking my dog in Maria Hernandez Park and practicing my Spanish with the nice girl at the Panaderia on the corner of Starr and Knickerbocker, and one time I almost got stabbed by a guy with a broken Corona bottle in Ecuador.
I plan on focusing my posts on the culinary side of Bushwick, so you can expect things like restaurant and grocery shop reviews, farmer’s market reports, and the like. I’ll also keep an eye on whats happening at Maria Hernandez Park. If there is anything going on that you would like to see covered here on BushwickBK.com but are too lazy to do it yourself, just let me know!
Have a happy Wednesday!

Hi Matt! Welcome to the neighborhood!

Welcome Matt. You were the nice guy on the walking tour weren’t you?
Thanks for your help with this site, and for helping the discussion move along.
I see a lot of people around the park even at night, and a lot of garbage dumped there. Also one side of the park seems a lot more spooky than the other, but what do you think.
It should be fun having you.

Matt, great to have you, and we’d be interested in hearing your stories about life in Bushwick!
Arizona, Conneticut, and now Bushwick – wow what a change! Bushwick sure aint Greenwich, CT, don’t you agree?

Matt, any differences between the areas you’d care to share?
