Breakfast at Rocky’s, by George Fiala

Besides being one of the best Irish bars in New York City, Rocky Sullivan’s is where the working class of Red Hook go after work to relax, enjoy a hockey game and have pizza or some good Irish stew. No matter what, one always has a friend at Rocky’s.

Yum, breakfast sliders!

Now one can enjoy Rocky’s before work as well. This month they have expanded into the early morning hours. Breakfast is now served between 8 am and 11 am, Mondays through Saturdays.

The food is freshly made in their kitchen, and the menu was created by George Kornienko, one of Rocky’s owners, but better known as their star bartender.
The fare includes a heaping bowl of oatmeal topped with a generous portion of blueberries, for $5; bacon or fried chicken sliders with eggs and cheese, served with home fries for $8; a breakfast pizza, also for $8.

The topper, or perhaps perfect game, is the Sandy Koufax special – named after the great Jewish Dodger pitcher. For $10 you get a hefty portion of smoked salmon atop a pita replete with red onions, grape tomatoes and cream cheese.

Of course, this is a bar, and if you would like to start your day with a Bloody Mary or Mimosa, this can be done for a measly $3. And yes, Rocky’s has coffee as well.
We think this is a great idea, and addition to Red Hook, as long as one remembers to go to work afterwards!

At ‘A Few of Each,’ Gowanus artists capture a neighborhood in flux

In some cultures, there’s a belief that death comes not when your heart stops beating, but when you’re forgotten. To remember something is to keep it alive, even if only in your heart. That idea is the key to A Few of Each, the collection of cityscape art currently on display at Gowanus Wine Studio on 3rd Avenue. The exhibition

Vincent Coppola on ‘Gowanus Crossing’

I first met Vincent Coppola in 1961 when we were high school freshmen at St. Augustine High School on Park Place in the Slope. After a career in journalism and some notable books, he’s now ensconced in Savannah, a city which, like Vinny, acknowledges the presence of ghosts. The interview has been edited to leave out the boring bits. Full

People of Red Hook: August 2026

This is New York City, but today nobody’s rushing. People are lollygagging down the streets while the 95-degree heat penetrates their bones. So it’s not too hard to get them to stop and talk to me about their relationships with their phones—the very phones that most of them are staring into before our conversations begin.   Christopher Loyd: I’m trying to
