Brooklyn terminal in NY

[augies]

Does anyone know if there is a wine store within walking distance of the Brooklyn terminal? Sorry if this has been asked before. I couldn't find any threads on it.

Thanks.

Google "Red Hook" (name of area where port is), wine and shop or store. Several places will come up.

First, the liquor stores probable will not have very good wine selection. Second, it is not an area you want to walk around.

Mostly bodegas.

Grocery stores only sell beer. Wine & liquor can only be bought at liquor stores.

Because of the snarky replies about the quality of the wine stores, I went ahead and pulled up a list of stores that seem to fit right in with this now gentrified section of Brooklyn.

We were in Red Hook in August to board the Queen Mary 2. It was our first trip there since Superstorm Sandy. Red Hook is definitely gentrifying. Buildings are being rehabbed, trendy restaurants open for brunch, and at least two wine shops. There is also a supermarket (Fairway?) and an IKEA. No problems walking around during the day. Can't vouch for nighttime.

I stand corrected about the wine stores.

Thanks all. I appreciate the replies.

Yes, Red Hook is definitely better than the late 1970s when my federal agency would not send anyone into the area without a armed police escort from the local precinct. And then if it was only an obligatory inspection. We would not follow up with a home visit to any local consumers that had complaints. It was just too dangerous.

If you have the time, there is an MC Escher exhibit at 34 34 St., Red Hook, till February.

Don't know what your travel plans are, but we sailed on the QM2 in August and due to their selection and very high wine prices we wanted to take a case of wine onboard. Through some reasearch found BQE Wine and Liquors in Brooklyn, just a quick hop off the highway between Laguardia and our hotel. We used their website to make our selections in advance, gave them a call the night before we flew in and they put our order together. We requested our Uber noting our intended extra stop and our driver was great about it. They couldn't ring up our order until we got there, but they did it promptly. It might sound convoluted, but in reality was much easier than trying to do last minute shopping. Might depend on how much you plan to spend.

Ha! I agree. Was at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the very early 70's and the NYPD would ride 4 to a car.

Saw them once with their guns out and in their laps. Pretty scary place. :o

Looks like the real estate market is changing in Red Hook.. Am I seeing this right? If my grand mother could only see these prices now!

I loaded trucks on Washington Ave. in 1968 for Marchiony (sp) Ice Cream. We started at 7PM. That was an adventure.
