While I was over on the Brookyn side, my nephew took me out to the Red Hook neighborhood where he and his wife are operating a large music hall, appropriately known as "The Hook." They've renovated the former music place that was there and it seems to thrive on the nights it's open, from Thursday through Saturday. The format varies from country to rock but it might be available for other musical special events. I love the old brick warehouses nearby with their curved black painted iron doors. And I wonder about the sunken lightship, with its masts sticking out of the water. Like much of the neighborhood, it's really hard to get to by public transportation, and probably dangerous to walk through at night. But if you're interested in more details, PM me.

It's a good thing that I'm too far away from NYC for more involvement!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
