Photo by myself at Conover and Coffey Streets, in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Just outside a chocolate factory and a bar are two gorgeous murals, depicting both indulgences, wine and chocolate.
Unfortunately, the establishments were closed when we were there, this Saturday. Mark and I heard from friends that the owner of the chocolate factory opened a bar next door for impromptu celebrations.
Red Hook is a quirky, gritty, arty neighborhood along the Brooklyn waterfront, near Carroll Gardens. There are many cobblestone streets, local bars and tiny stores. A Fairway supermarket and an Ikea branch are also located here.
Unfortunately, it's not an easy neighborhood to visit. Since there are no direct subways, you must drive, take a bus or the Ikea shuttle.
A mural depicting a couple enjoying chocolate is just steps away on this seemingly desolate street.

Love Red Hook...wish it was easier to get to, but I also love when people ask my taxi to take them ;-) cha ching ! great pic :)
tres belle peinture murale, avec un coté sauvage grace aux plantes qui entoure le mur.
I was in a little place called Red Hook but that was in the neighbor of Albany by a place called Kind Hook. But you sure have a lot of good artists over there. Great mural. Thanks for showing.

Red Hook is one of my favorite places to take pictures. Also can't beat Fort Defiance or Good Fork for refreshments after!
