There is a ton of fantastic street art in Bushwick. You will see it no matter where you go. But if you walk towards the Jefferson L Train stop along Troutman, you will definitely get a good idea of what there is to offer. Also try a walking tour. http://www.freetoursbyfoot.com/new-york-tours/walking-tours/new-york-graffiti-and-street-art-tours/
