Red Hook, Brooklyn

Welcome to Red Hook, we're glad you've finally made it!

About Me

I'm a neighborhood located in South Brooklyn ... West of Park Slope, East of Governer's Island, Northwest of Sunset Park/Greenwood Hts, South of Carroll Gardens. I'm the longtime home of Brooklyn longshoremen and other blue-collars, but I'm also home to a lot of other newcomers. People are under the impression that I'm dangerous, but you really just have to get to know me before you can judge me.
I've got the best views of the Statue of Liberty and you get not only one skyline, but TWO at my waterfront views ... Governer's Island and Manhattan.
Come explore and find out all of the great things I have to offer, excellent bars, restaurants, art and more.
You can get to me by:
Driving: The vehicles-only Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel or the BQE.
Subway and Bus: The B61 bus, formerly a trolley line, runs as a 24-hour service from Erie Basin Red Hook through Downtown Brooklyn, Clinton Hill, Williamsburg, and Greenpoint, terminating at Long Island City, Queens. The B77 bus connects with the F + G Line's Smith-Ninth Streets station.
Or you can ride your bike (its a nice ride). I'm not as inaccessible as people believe.

My Interests

NYC, Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Waterfront, Brooklyn life

I'd like to meet:

Locals, visitors, other Brooklynites, friends, lovers, bars, businesses ... and the list goes on.
