Red Hook's Sunday Hip Hop Block Party

Overview

You don't need an excuse to hang out at Red Hook, but no one is going to complain about having an extra reason to stop by. And the CBD's beloved New York-style diner and bar sure is giving you one every Sunday afternoon in December (other than Christmas, of course): a series of festive, food-fuelled, beat-filled hip hop block parties.

Yes, Gresham Lane is the place to be once the clock strikes 3pm. It's a simple concept, but a great one. Basically, they're throwing together some food and drink specials, enlisting a few ace DJs to spin some killer tracks, and then waiting for the fun to begin.

Whatever the deals happen to be on the day, you'll be sure to find US street food aplenty, including hot dogs, burritos, wings and delightfully named burgers like the Grandmaster Flash (with beef, lettuce, tomato, ketchup and smoky mayo), as well as taps pumping out cold brews. Plus, with whiskey joint The Gresham also in the vicinity, you can cap it all off with a stiff beverage. That's how all weekends should end, isn't it?
