I haven't lived in Brooklyn in 20+ years. Is Stuy Town the new name for Bed-Stuy?

No, there are lots of things in New York named after Peter Stuyvesant. "Stuy Town" is a large private development north of the the east village that was built after WWII and supposed to be a revolutionary model of urban living, but failed to live up to the hype.

Having known people who lived there, it feels like living in a housing project, but with the rent of a normal apartment. Not the best deal in the city, but it works for some.
