Red Hook is a hidden gem nestled between the BQE and the Hugh Carey Tunnel, offering some of the easiest car access to Brooklyn. Despite its proximity to major highways, the neighborhood feels worlds away, defined by cobblestone streets, industrial waterfront views, and a creative, laid-back energy.
There's no subway line running directly into Red Hook, but the area is easily walkable from the Smith9th Streets or Carroll Street F/G stationsroughly 10 minutes for destinations near the highway, and closer to 20 minutes if you're heading deeper in. The B61 and B57 buses run directly through the neighborhood, while the NYC Ferry provides a scenic option via the South Brooklyn route. Cyclists can reach the area along the Brooklyn Greenway, though Red Hook's cobblestones make for a bumpy ride in wet weather.
Red Hook's maritime past is etched into its architecturemassive red-brick warehouses and piers now house distilleries, galleries, and cultural hubs. Standout spots include Pioneer Works, Red Hook Winery, Hometown Bar-B-Que, and Sunny's Bar, a legendary dive with live music and deep local roots. The floating Waterfront Museum and Erie Basin Park offer accessible ways to experience the area's working waterfront heritage. And of course, no mention of Red Hook is complete without IKEA. The massive waterfront store isn't just a furniture destinationit's also home to one of the best views of the harbor, an on-site cafe, and a shuttle bus linking Red Hook to key subway stations.
Whether you're grabbing a lobster roll, indulging in a chocolate-dipped key lime pie, or sipping local wine by the water, Red Hook serves up big flavor and character, without the crowds.
