If I ask you to think about Red Hook, Brooklyn, the odds are that you're going to think about the Fairway and its immediate area. Little shops, a winery, some restaurants, artists, and rowhomes that sell for way more than you'd expect given that this is a flood zone. In the summer, girls in sundresses ride bicycles with baskets as people wander the cobblestone lanes eating frozen key lime pie pops, enjoying the sweet smell of the ocean. But there is a second Red Hook just a few blocks away towards the BQE. Housing projects, taxi repair depots, and a liquor store whose Yelp review states, without a hint of sarcasm: "Out of all the bulletproof liquor stores I've ever been to in Brooklyn this is by far the cleanest..." This is pre-gentrification Red Hook and this is where Defonte's exists; on the ground floor of what would otherwise look like a cutseyfied abandoned brownstone.
Potato, egg, & cheese....Heaven in a sandwich! I will drive to Brooklyn just to have this Sandwich when I am in town. I know they have other great food, but I can't seem to get past the PE&C! LOVE it!
The food use 2 be much better.
