An iconic location in Red Hook, Steve's makes their key lime pies from fresh key lime juice. It sounds like a small difference, but it is major (and delicious!). Enjoy the views from the park nearby while you're there- especially the Statue of Liberty!

Brand new to Red Hook, this new restaurant has been a critical hit (NYTimes must try, etc). I recommend snagging a reservation or just dropping by to see what you can get at the bar. The food is phenomenal- I personally love the prawns, the chicken, and the corn. Enjoy!

Great coffee and baguettes from Balthazar on the weekends. A bit quiet and serious at times but charming.

Lovely local wine shop run by Corey (who is the best). Good selection of wines from cheap to not at all cheap, some sakes, liquors, and ciders as well. Very close to my apartment!

Experience
Cacao Prieto makes delicious chocolate in a beautiful setting. You can pop by or get an official tour. Tours are an hour and include an in-depth look at the history of cacao in the Dominican Republic, the beans to bar process, the machinery used for processing and science that makes chocolate the unique product it is.
From turn of the century antiques to patented machines invented in house, see how a raw fermented cacao bean moves from farm-to-bar through roasting, cracking, winnowing, milling, tempering, molding, and packaging. Following chocolate is a look at distilling rums, liqueurs, and whiskey from grain-to-barrel-to-bottle.
Tasting flights of spirits included.
