Make a visit of it
A museum on a 100-year-old railroad barge docked in Red Hook. Part maritime history, part performance space, part community gathering spot. One of the most unique free experiences in Brooklyn. Combine with Pioneer Works, which is a 5-minute walk.
After: Hometown Bar-B-Que (BBQ, $14-24). Van Brunt St, 5 min walk. Texas-style brisket in an industrial Red Hook space. Arguably the best BBQ in NYC.
