The Red Hook Initiative is a not-for-profit organization that offers a helping hand to Red Hook residents. They have multiple programs that support young people through their educational careers, and they provide professional development to ensure that local residents are given opportunities to serve their community. Overall, RHI focuses on building a healthy and sustainable Red Hook community.
To the sound of live jazz, the attendees sampled the best of local Brooklyn cuisine.
The restaurateurs were stationed inside and out. Kings Coffee offered a Vodka Coffee cocktail to keep the guests buzzing.
Hometown’s Bar-B-Que ribs were a hit at the event, and they had to work hard to keep up with the demand.
There were tasty dishes courtesy of nationally acclaimed restaurant The Good Fork…
…and Nobletree served cold brew iced coffee.
Another favorite was the Court Street Grocer’s pulled pork slider, with green tomato picalilli, bacon-fat mayo, and cheddar.
Alma had a hard time keeping their plates full, as the food just kept on disappearing into the attendees.
There was smoked salmon from Shelsky’s Smoked Fish….
… and Slowteria decided to up the ante, presentation-wise.
The Red Hook Winery was on hand to help with pairings.
And Kevin’s was busy all night shucking oysters.
The 2014 Taste of Red Hook raised more than $175,000 for the Red Hook community, and the O’Connell Organization looks forward to supporting the Red Hook Initiative for years to come.
