RED HOOK
Historically, Red Hook's focus was turned toward New York Harbor and its related industries, like shipping and manufacturing. Nowadays, the neighborhood has turned its gaze inward and fostered a homey sense of place, with warehouses converted into condominiums and cobblestone streets leading to a burgeoning dining scene and friendly bars. Many residents love the feeling of remoteness and the close-knit bonds it has created. The arrival of IKEA and the creation of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal have anchored the redevelopment of a now bustling waterfront area.
