“Meet the Regulars: People of Brooklyn and the Places They Love,” a new compilation of interviews conducted by Joshua D. Fischer and available now from Skyhorse Publishing, grew out of a series many of you may have read on the Williamsburg-centric blog Bedford and Bowery.

As a result, the book focuses heavily on spots in North Brooklyn. But what could feel like an oversight is a boon to residents of Bushwick because so many of the haunts and people featured in these pages are only a few subway stops away.

Nearby highlights include a hilarious romp with the Lucas Brothers at their favorite spot Tutu’s and photographer Ellen Stagg’s ode to East Williamsburg’s most conspicuous strip club Pumps.
