Brooklyn Graffiti Tour : Red Hook

Brooklyn, NYC, is filled with some pretty spectacular street art. From Williamsburg to DUMBO, to Vinegar Hill, to Red Hook, and beyond, you won't ever be disappointed by the beautiful and meaningful art that covers Brooklyn's walls. The photos in this post are of Red Hook, a super cool and hip neighborhood that is pretty off the grid, compared to Downtown Brooklyn's other hipster hot spots. It's 'cause the neighborhood is relatively far from most trains and subways, so its hard-to-get-to location has helped in preserving the true Red Hook. The neighborhood's got a really cool and unique vibe, it's a pretty interesting place. It is riddled by cobble stoned streets and colorful lights that drape across crosswalks. At the heart of New York City, it feels like anywhere but. No other neighborhood in NYC has quite the same quiet, relaxed, and totally hip attitude of laid back Red Hook. If you ever find yourself in New York and want to get a taste of local Brooklyn, head to Red Hook, the spot few tourists venture. No Sleep Till Brooklyn!!!

Colors and rainbows are the key to a lovely graffiti-ed wall.
