Beautiful weather down at the Coffey Street Pier in Red Hook. You would hardly know it, from looking at this area, that the neighborhood is still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.

Buddha behind fence

Pumpkins and gourds not your thing? Perhaps a cement Buddha is what you need this fall; the Red Hook garden store has those, too. This statue’s mudra, or hand gesture, symbolizes the teaching of cosmic order. The Buddha’s behind chainlink because people want that, but they don’t want to pay for it.
Pumpkins & gourds

The plant and garden store in Red Hook has a bounty of pumpkins and gourds. They are colorful, endlessly variable, and mostly useless. I like to look at pumpkins with 18″ diameters, but don’t need to take one home.
Krabby View Restaurant

On the top level of Brooklyn Crab, you don’t notice the phone wires; all you see is the view. The food is nothing special, but the breeze is nice and the beer is cool. How did the Krusty Krab get an outpost in Red Hook? No matter; you’ll probably be back this summer.
Red Hook graffiti

The decorations on this fence wouldn’t be terribly interesting if it weren’t for the image of the woman. She’s painted on paper; part of what is compelling are the effects of the weather and age on the fragile material.
Brunch all the time @ Hope & Anchor

Hope & Anchor in Red Hook will accommodate your group, which is a great thing, especially on weekends. You don’t have to decide whether it’s lunch, brunch, or dinner. No matter the hour, order pancakes, burgers, coffee, and cocktails, if that’s what you’re in the mood for.
Fake rocks

When pieces of bricks get worn down from being in the water, they turn into rock-like objects. These were found at the small beach by the Coffey Street Pier in Red Hook.
Tasty smoothie

The setting is making me thirsty. I’ve never heard of that brand of drink. The faded look is visually appealing, though.
Queen Mary 2 is in Red Hook

If you’re not a passenger or working on a cruise ship, this is about as close as you’ll get to the ships. No matter, though, because there is no missing the Queen Mary 2, behemoth of the waterways from England to NYC and points around the world. If you’re contemplating a trip and your pockets are bursting with cash, or you simply want to know more, visit Cunard.com. The Queen Mary 2 is historical yet excessive, and has the only “planetarium at sea.”
Red Hook jungle

A lot of rain recently has contributed to the lush, late-summer greenery. The graffiti-ed fence will remind you that you’re still in Brooklyn.
