Sweeping skyline views and waterfront tranquility draw visitors to this Red Hook retreat all year long, while free kayaking and outdoor films make it a bona fide summer hotspot.
Have you tried the Swingle? It's a key lime pie—tart lime curd, buttery graham cracker crust, and all—frozen and enrobed in high-end dark chocolate, then shoved on a popsicle stick. Read more.
Dare I say best BBQ in Brooklyn. Beef ribs are crazy town. Pair it w/ Mac n cheese, pickles and cole slaw as your sides. Wouldn't be surprised to find Frank Underwood in here.
Visit on Lobstah Feast Fridays between 6-9pm (and 5-9pm on Sat), when you can chow down a 1.5-lb lobster with sides for $25.
Now stocking Vernors (regular and diet) in aisle 5. It's near the coconut water on one of the top shelves.
Even Sandy couldn’t down this dive. Stop by to marvel at some weird taxidermy and be treated like one of the family by the awesome staff that make this place a citywide favorite.
If I lived in Red Hook I'd be here every day. Whoopie Pies and the cupcakes with red hots on top are the best. Amazing iced coffee, too.
The best damn restaurant in Red Hook. Just about dying of pleasure eating the duck and the Korean steak & eggs and drinking the Fiscal Cliff.
Everyone is going to tell you to get Soler's pupusas. But trust me, get their savory (not sweet) chicken tamales. Those will rock your world. And drown it with a glass of their horchata. Read more.
The Waterfront Museum is at Pier 25 for the next week or so! Visit her and Tug Pegasus at the end of N. Moore St. Vote for them both at http://partnersinpreservation.com.
Brooklyn has its very own winery?! These guys are right on the beautiful Red Hook pier, offer tastings on the weekends and even have a killer wine club where they send you 12 special bottles a year.
