NYT Dining Recommends Red Hook Eats

Have you hit all the stops on editor Pete Wells' tour of the waterfront neighborhood?


In a love letter to our waterfront neighbors on Tuesday, New York Times Restaurant Critic Pete Wells offers his top choices for eating and drinking one's way through Red Hook. 

From a "dizzying lobster bisque" at Red Hook Lobster Pound to "marshmallows you want to hide from your children" at Baked to The Good Fork's "crunchy and spicy Korean pancakes... and a potato-and-egg sandwich that should be on the curriculum of every Brooklyn public school" available at Defonte's Sandwich Shop, Wells' recommendations champion a varied dining landscape that offers food lovers something off the beaten culinary path.

The complete list of highlights is rounded out by Red Hook Food Vendors, Red Hook Winery, Fairway Market, Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pies, Cacao Prieto, Dry Dock Wine and Spirits, Fort Defiance and Home/Made.
