Rediscovering New York: Red Hook

I was back on the ‘Rediscovering New York’ radio program yesterday, this time discussing one of my favorite Brooklyn neighborhoods… Red Hook! It was a fun episode to do, with me discussing the area’s storied history, and the owner of the local Red Hook Lobster Pound discussing Red Hook’s unique businesses and culture.

Once home to dock workers and the nation’s busiest container port, Red Hook reinvented itself in the last 15 years as a hub of small-batch manufacturing, art, and trendy eateries. Massive artist studios, whiskey distilleries, small urban wineries, chocolate factories, ice cream factories, custom furniture & glass-blowing artisans, and a picturesque view of the Statue of Liberty and harbor… all this and much more awaits you in Red Hook. It has the feel of a New England cape town tucked away in a corner of Brooklyn.
