Stop #2
Sunny’s Bar
?Red Hook
Opened in 1890 and going through various incarnations including a restaurant and a longshoremen’s hangout, it wasn’t until the 1990s that it became the beloved local mainstay helmed by the beatific, beatniky owner, Sunny, who greeted you warmly from beneath a mop of gray hair until he passed in 2016. It’s now, as Sunny used to say, “just a meeting place for folks — painters, writers, musicians, plumbers — who care about each other so much they don’t mind the trip.”
