Red Hook is Brooklyn’s sidelined sibling: deserted by public transport, frequented by bearded men, and surrounded by water. Basically, exactly where you want to take a fresh date. The hood retains a port feel, a mashup of grit and Maine and secret spots. For this runaround, we cruise the cobbled high street, veer off to a parky dock for sunset views, and circle back to a legendary bluegrass bar for music and backyard carousing.
