Red Hooked

Drift wood garden--brilliant!
The side of probably some old, grumpy pirate's house.

Red Hook is all gardens, all the time!
Interesting Feng Shui.

My friend Abbey and I walked and spent the day in Red Hook, Brooklyn this past Sunday. Red Hook is probably my most favorite neighborhood in Brooklyn, because it boasts a seemingly endless array of gardens, as well as random oddities. It is also right by the water, which, even though Brooklyn is surrounded by water, one tends to forget, because it is not so accessible. Red Hook, for that matter, is not so accessible, but on a nice day, it is a relatively pleasant walk. One of our favorite coffee/pastry shops, called Baked, is another mouth-watering RH draw. I just bought the recipe book and Rob and my housemates are now reaping the tasty benefits:p
