Backstreets Neighbourhoods | PASSPORT
It's hard to believe that a neighbourhood like Red Hook exists in a city like New York, which has a population of 8.5 million and is the largest urban area in the US. Red Hook is compact. It's walkable. It has a community feel. It also has green space, a community garden and killer waterfront views towards the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline, clearly visible in the distance against a blue-grey backdrop of sky. Called Ihepetonga by the Indigenous Lenape and Roode Hoek (red point) by the Dutch after.
