The Potpourri of faces starts in 2015 and goes through the present, with the most recent photos at the top. These photos are all taken from Star-Revue photo files, some were printed in the paper, others here for the first time. These are just some of the many people that make Red Hook a community. There are too many to mention, but include Scott Pfaffman, Jim Tampakis, John Leyva, Imre Kovacs, Dan Wiley, Andrea McKnight, Cory Hill, Michael Buscemi, Ben Fuller-Googins, Terry Scotto, Joan Millman, Brad Lander, Susan Saunders, Christos Tsiamis, Viviana Gordon, Karen Blondel, Ian Marvy, Henrietta Perkins, Lillie Marshall, Craig Hammerman, Alexandros Washburn, Brad Lander, Nino Pantano, Deirdre Swords, Wally Bazemore, Pete Waldman, Billy Durney, Eric Adams, Florence Neal, Bill deBlasio, Felix Ortiz, Martha Bowers, Steve Tarpin, Carolina Salguero, Nicholas Kean, Chrissy Fichtl, Jerry Armer, Alexa Aviles, Victoria Alexander and Jacqui Painter.

And these are just a small few of the many people that have gone into making Red Hook the unique, distinctive and diverse community that makes this the shining jewel of New York City.

Looking forward to 2030
and some new faces!!!
