Public Transit
This is my favorite form of public transportation in the neighborhood, and its only 1.5 blocks from the house. Be sure to download the NYC Ferry app and use it to plan all your trips/get your tickets. You can even take the ferry down to The Rockaways and have a proper beach day!

This is a hole in the wall Key Lime pie spot run by a guy named, you guessed it, Steve. Steve used to sell Key Lime pie out of a truck, but he outgrew the truck and now runs this shack on the water. Get a slice of pie, coffee, and sit down on the pier to watch the sunset.

Food Scene
People come from all over to go here for what is considered to be some of the best (if not the best) BBQ in NYC. I’ve had BBQ all around the USA, and this stands up with the best of them. Short walk down the street.

Hip pizza spot on the water in Red Hook. Great place to sit as the sun is setting. Grab a table outside. Walk to the pier after, and get some key lime pie at Steve’s right across the way. They have gluten free and vegan options, as well as some great beer + wine selection.

This is the closest food/bar hangout to the house, right at the end of the street. San Pedro has great drinks, and tacos that rival what you can find in LA. I love the shiitake mushroom tacos.

This is a classic Brooklyn Deli/Sandwich shop right here. If you’ve ever seen something like that in a movie/tv show, this is what they are referencing. Defonte’s has been here serving Red Hook for generations, and is a must visit.

This is hands down my favorite spot in the neighborhood. Go here as the sun is setting, bring a blanket, and watch the sun set on the water over the Statue of Liberty as the sky turns pink. Never gets old to me - I hope you dig it too.

This is a classic neighborhood bar, that was originally opened for all the fisherman in the neighborhood. Now - this is a locals hangout and one of the few bluegrass spots in the neighborhood. Be sure to go here - you won’t regret it. I don’t even drink and I hang out here :)
