BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — Whether you label Bed-Stuy more “Do or Die” or “Rent or Buy,” where does the neighborhood begin and end?

Is Biggie’s former home on St. James Place still part of the area? Is it Atlantic Avenue or Fulton Street that draws the line between Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights?

And don’t even get some locals started on Stuyvesant Heights.

Since New York City doesn’t have official neighborhood boundaries, it’s up to you to settle the age-old debate about where your community starts and stops.

Check out DNAinfo's new map tool to draw Bed-Stuy's borders and compare the results to those of your neighbors. We'll share our findings once we get enough submissions.
