This Friday, October 14th from 7-11pm, join Widow Jane Whiskey Distillery in celebrating it’s 4th year anniversary. Red Hook is home to so many wonderful small businesses. Widow Jane makes an amazing quality product and we aren’t surprised they’ve thrived in this neighborhood! Along with whiskey tastings, they will have BBQ and live music at […]
Here is something exciting for those of you who don’t know. A new artisanal gelato shop, Dolce Brooklyn, has opened up at 305 Van Brunt Street. Red Hook residents, you have surely already seen the bright red signage and have probably stopped in to try one or two or a few of their unique and […]
There will be an opening reception in a few days for a very interesting exhibit coming to Kentler International Drawing Space at 353 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook. Artist Golnar Adili’s Language Landscapes (above) can be seen at the gallery through the months of September and most of October. The artist herself will be […]
If you’re like me, you may be in complete denial that summer is nearing its end. Skipping out of work early, beach days, grilling out, escaping the city for the weekend…there’s really nothing like summer in the city. Make the most of these next few weeks and make sure to include Red Hook Flicks in your schedule. Tonight is […]
The weather has been relatively cool but the heat is returning this weekend. Many of you know that when you’re in Red Hook you can stop by Steve’s Authentic and get a frozen swingle to cool you down. If you don’t know, a swingle is a tiny key lime pie dipped in chocolate. Wait, there’s […]

For anyone who is free that night and would like to help out their community mark your calendars and RSVP here. Clean up supplies […]
The spot on Columbia, which formerly housed the restaurant Orchard, now has signage! Above the door painted on the top of the metal gate it says “Handsome Drakes”. We previously reported that this place may be called DeKalb Duck bc that was the LLC name but we’re confirming otherwise. We also found out some more […]
When the CitiBike program launched a few years ago, a lot of local residents (including myself) were left scratching our heads. Why hadn’t they placed any stations in transportation lacking neighborhoods like Red Hook, Columbia Waterfront or Gowanus. The point of a bike-share program is to alleviate congested traffic conditions and provide […]
We were very sad to see Orchard close at 257 Columbia Street. The food was good, the atmosphere was tranquil, and the staff was friendly. Many who worked out of our Columbia Street office would go there for lunch often, especially Mary who’d get coffee and food there daily. We noticed walking by the vacant […]
Cantine hit it out of the park for Columbia Waterfront! Branching out from their catering company, owner Alexandra Sagol and chef Eric Zawacki have opened this cafe and it’s thriving at 126 Union. Alexandra and Eric are constantly changing the menu to keep customers coming back! The options are similar to their catering menu that […]
