Red Hook is a food lover’s paradise, but it’s also hard to get to, which is part of the draw, in some ways. So no matter where you want to go or do, you’re going to be trekking around a bit. If you have a bike, bring it. But once you’re there and you have your eats, there are a few great spots to hit up and eat and catch some rays. Hit up Valentino Pier (Coffey and Ferris streets), a park with a long pier jutting out into New York harbor. The whole experience is very nautical. Or, head down to Fairway (480 Van Brunt St.) and sit on one of the benches right on the water.
When it comes to eats, you can’t beat a lobster roll from the Red Hook Lobster Pound. It’s meaty and summery and refreshing. Other options: pupusas, tacos and elotes (corn) from the Red Hook Food Vendors (Clinton and Bay streets) and sandwiches from Defonte’s (329 Columbia St., closed Sunday).

Here are the best places to eat outside right now.
