Bed-___ (Brooklyn neighborhood, familiarly)

STUY

This historic area is named after a Dutch governor and sits near the East River, known for its iconic bridge views.

This clue plays on the nickname for Stuyvesant Heights, a well-known Brooklyn neighborhood often called "Bed-Stuy" in casual conversation. The hyphen in "Bed-___" signals you're looking for the second half of that shortened name, which is "Stuy." It’s a common abbreviation locals and New Yorkers use, so the answer fits both the neighborhood reference and the fill-in-the-blank format.
