Red Hook - SOLD OUT

Take a walk through a neighborhood that has an identity as bound to the water as any place in America. Long gone are the days of the busy docks, of the longshoremen and stevedores depicted in "On the Waterfront" (1954). Today, Red Hook is home to the vast Red Hook Houses and, nearer the water, a gentrifying residential community and a host of new waterfront amenities, chief among them Lee Weintraub's Erie Basin Park, built as part of the controversial Ikea store. Waterfront warehouses and piers have been rehabilitated in recent years, and the Queen Elizabeth II docks at historic old Atlantic Basin. With guide Francis Morrone, we will walk the waterfront but also the inland streets of Red Hook and see how an old waterfront community has become a new waterfront community. Cost: $30 / $20 Members.
