Friends of mine that have lived in Red Hook swear it's necessary to have a car if you live on this street or elsewhere in this neighborhood, but car drivers beware: while Van Brunt Street is paved, ma...

- bob70
In this street that ends in the harbor you will not find a pirate ship of Captain Red Hook that you can show to your kids. Instead the area has activity for loading and unloading cargo vessels. This a...

"Close to the waterfront, art and museums."

Beard Street is just one block from the waterfront. It links the popular Van Brunt Street and the famous Conover Street. Artists display their wares for more than have the year along Van Brunt Stree...

"Conover Street in Brooklyn, New York"
- jessicamstephen
For an interesting take on museums, I suggest making a visit to the Waterfront Museum at 290 Conover Street. The floating museum is on the last remaining wood-covered barge of the New York Harbor. A...
"Safe in the Day"
- JewishPimp02
Imlay st is another one of those business/industrial streets. It's alive and well during the day while people are working but at the off-hours when nobody is around it doesn't seem like a safe place t...
"Where Latin food goes to die"
- NeverSleeps
Bay Street is one of the best streets in Red Hook - mostly because of the vendors that hang around the Red Hook Ball Fields. You can get some of the best Latin food in Brooklyn from these trucks, incl...
"Dirty, Industrial and Unworthy - Albeit a Neccessary Evil -..."
- NeverSleeps
A cabbie once told me that many drivers consider Hamilton Ave to be an offshoot of 3rd Ave (which it kind of is), or even as being the same street. Hamilton Ave is kind of horrible - it's right benea...
"Bush Street In Brooklyn"
- Macsizzle
In the neighborhood of Brooklyn, you don’t find many streets like this one. This was a very quiet purely residential street with no cars and no loud noises from the freeway. It was a nice place to rai...
"King of Kings"
- Macsizzle
Great street in the village. I think that anyone would enjoy their time spent here. I really liked walking around and marveling at the great buildings. A great place for families with children, and...
"On Huntington Street"
- Macsizzle
I think this area is good for raising families on a tight budget,
though you lose all of the glamour of downtown living in Brooklyn.
There are no fancy boutiques on this street, but there is a bod...
"nice developing area, near parks"
- JakeTT
Pioneer Street is in South Brooklyn in the Red Hook neighborhood, and is undergoing a lot of recent changes. It still has an old-school Brooklyn feel but there are a lot of new construction developmen...
"Unsafe Place at Night"
- JewishPimp02
This is a small, more industrial street. Its doesn't have much residential housing if any. It's a bustling place with workers during the day but at night it is dead and it is a good idea to avoid the...
"Rough and Tough Neighborhood, but Has a Certain "Charm""
- JCG
Dikeman Street runs through the heart of Red Hook, which has been known go be a pretty rough neighborhood. Right on the waterfront, it has some great views of the harbor, but because it's an industri...
"Reed Street your connect to Conover and Van Brunt Street."
- Mitestarossa
From Reed Street you are just seconds away from the museums of Conover Street and the artists of Van Brunt Street. It really is a good location for everything Brooklyn. There are many artists festiv...
"A conversation piece of a street"
- shuz4lulz
This area is great to brag about at parties. Van Dyke St. is Classic Red Hook because although you are trapped without a car, you'll live within steps of the waterfront, pier 41 and Steve's Authentic...
"Amazing for those who enjoy the outdoors."
- jstrauss
This street has so much to do for those kinds of people who enjoy getting out and spending time in the green world around them. There is a huge park right in the middle of the street. It has a basketb...
