NYC Walk : Red Hook, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, & Brooklyn Heights in February 2023

I take a walk through Brooklyn from Red Hook through Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill to Downtown Brooklyn. I start off in the Red Hook Food Corp, the location of General Ock's bodega where crazy sandwich inventions are made, and make my way over to Court Street. Court Street is a major thoroughfare through all the neighborhoods of Brooklyn I pass through. I then turn on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

[@Sarahr98998]

Loved this walk, AK! Very relaxing, informative, and fun. Thanks for the tour!

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, thank you so much for watching!

[@johnnyb3987]

Thanks so much for doing this video! I was born and raised in carroll gardens on carroll street and I used to spend a lot of time in that park. It's changed quite a bit since, but it's funny because after 40 plus years, a lot of the stores are still there owned by the same families. I miss that part of my life a lot. My grandma lived one block north on president street. And it was really a nice safe place for kids back then. Everyone knew everyone else. Very cool. Thanks again.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us! Carroll Gardens is such a nice neighborhood of Brooklyn

[@eugenedimitrov]

Holy moly! Brooklyn Heights vibe is so incredible! Really love it !!!

[@eugenedimitrov]

Thanks for doing it ,Ken! Another awesome video!!! So cool to see new spots and explore that amazing borough more

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Nice tour of several of the iconic Brooklyn neighborhoods ActionKid, thank you! I haven't been to Brooklyn in a while and it's nice to see what's going down in some of those hoods. Cheers and now I am going to go eat a half sandwich 😉

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much for watching! It's a nice walk along one of the liveliest streets in Brooklyn

[@brucedahms4508]

This was a very, very enjoyable walk! I'll be watching it again. I can relate to Brooklyn Heights - I can see the tops of the buildings. It reminds me of the "downtown" section of my town. Of course, here in my little town that comprises the post office, town hall, Chinese restaurant, bank, and two antique shops on one side of the street and a church, tea room, apartment house, and vacant grocery store on the other - blink, and you've missed it! Thanks for posting this!

[@ActionKid]

Love Brooklyn Heights and all the areas on the way there. Thank you so much for watching!

[@LouGrant999]

It's been awhile. I lived in Carroll Gardens for 21 years on Union Street with my dogs not far from the Cammareri Bakery where Moonstruck was filmed. Nino's a popular Pizza place on the corner of Henry Street was a stone's throw from me. Moved back to Boston suburbs 13 years ago. Do miss the smells of the Italian bakeries and the flavor of the entire neighborhood. Great to relive that neighborhood today through your interpretive eyes. Very special walk. Thanks again AK.

[@ActionKid]

Pretty cool! Thank you for sharing your experiences with Carroll Gardens with us. It's such an amazing neighborhood with a lot to offer.

[@albertberto5276]

Court St changed. I grew up on Vanbrunt street in Red Hook and I was born a block from St. Mary's School on Liqueur St off Clinton. And I went to St. Mary's School. I love Brooklyn. Especially Red Hook, Carole Gardens and Cobble Hill. South West Brooklyn. I live in Manhattan and my heart is in Brooklyn.

[@lornahardin4563]

I loved this walk Ken, especially the millionaire row walk and Brooklyn Heights area. I would love to see you do more historic neighborhood areas and any history about them. Even the historic old churches or buildings and especially cemeteries of the founding pioneers..

[@roseyborg1177]

Love this. I was born in Brooklyn and lived on Sackett Street which you passed about 20 minutes into the video. I was so excited to see it. Going to share with my sister😊

[@Musicradio77Network]

I was born in Brooklyn 44 years ago.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experiences with us! I think your sister would love it.

[@deniseg812]

I lived on Fourth Place and Henry Street, across from 142.

[@HengMiao]

13:17 "Could be Yesterday's News, but they'll find a good place in today's world." - nice statement and cool antique shop! 😎25:05 Nice murals 48:34 Cat cafe! 😻 50:58 Amazing views of Lower Manhattan with the Statue of Liberty in the distance from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade! 😍🗽 Thank you for sharing this relaxing walk through Brooklyn, AK! 🤗

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed the video! It was so nice to experience the Brooklyn Heights Promenade again

[@charlesbaran1106]

I worked in Downtown Brooklyn/Brooklyn Heights from 1984-1995, so it was nice to see these neighborhoods, with everybody walking around. I used to enjoy eating lunch on the Promenade. At that time, there were abandoned piers where Brooklyn Bridge Park is located, but the harbor views were fantastic. Someone already mentioned the movie Moonstruck, which was filmed partially in the area. You walked down Cranberry St. at the end; I believe Cher's character lived there. Nice job, AK.

[@deniseg812]

Good job with this, now I can walk through the neighborhood I grew up in. Carroll Gardens/Red Hook. Incidentally the house they filmed the outside scenes for Patty Duke Show is on Remsen, between Henry and the Promenade.

[@eugenedimitrov]

Wow! Red Hook loos so decent and kind of elegant!!!

[@TheMrShent]

Your narration really makes these videos! Another awesome video thank you!

[@micheleglezman4819]

This is def one of my favorite videos. What an awesome place I also love ur videos of the boroughs of New York😊

[@ActionKid]

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it

[@eugenedimitrov]

Yeah ,all of those gardens are pretty need with no doubts!!!

[@surfboard396]

Nice walk my friend. Great area. I’m from Bay Ridge. I miss this area of the promenade. You probably don’t remember the Patty Duke show but she lived on 8 Remsen Drive. Thanks . Take care. Back to Fl. I see .

[@huwthomas1042]

Clarks diner just off Henry/High Street worth a checkout.

[@Musicradio77Network]

I hope AK should so do a walkthrough on Henry Street. We used to lived on 543 Henry St. back in the day.

[@Egcredible]

GREAT Walk! I Went To Carroll Gardens A Few Times Just For Going To IKEA,It Has Many Italian-American Shops And Has Cool Bars,Check The Brownstone Houses And The Gardens Out! 53:39 Amazing View Of Brooklyn Bridge And The Federal Building At Civic Center,Nice Waterfront District! 28:46 The Moment Was So Cute When The Dog Came To Its Owner! Gladly You Caught This Nice Moment In Your Video 😊,Keep The Nice Work Up AK!

[@ActionKid]

My pleasure, so happy you enjoyed this walk through Brooklyn

[@lol_05.76]

I love it when you return to NYC to tour various neighborhoods... no one does it better, (fo' real/fo' real). Whenever Action Kid is filming in NYC, I re-subscribe, and I unsub when AK returns to MIA. Regarding the NYC vids, welcome back Sir AK.

[@jarihult]

That sandwich what you ate the at the Ockys was huge , nice place btw and no wonder that you couldn’t eat all of that 🤔Nice neighborhoods along your walk , nice houses 5:38 , nice restaurant 8:12 and many more nice restaurants along your walk 🙂Overal enjoyable walk 😎Thank you for sharing A K 🙂👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed it! There are so many restaurants throughout this walk

[@263Ashley]

Hi ActionKid, it's always a pleasure to take these walk with you when you do the videos...thank you. Regards from Trinidad W.I.

Oh wow, another Trini! (My late father was from Trinidad, raised in Manzanilla, IIRC.)

Thank you so much!

[@gracehopper5832]

Really good to hear from you

[@jasonibiza7993]

@ActionKid @17:46 minutes into the video you walked by Hollywood actor Michael Shannon!

[@sharifchi]

Yee-Row not Gy-Row, I live in Greektown, Chicago LOL! Love these walks!

[@robertparker1180]

40:08 my alma mater St. Francis College class of '85 is on this block (180 Remsen Street)

[@albertberto5276]

See how fast you can walk from Red Hook to Cobble Hill! Back in the early 80's my friends and I and my sister and her friends we would all walk from Red Hook to Fulton street to the Metropolitan movie theater or the Dufield movie theater or Cobble Hill. We saw that movie,"The Outsiders together at Cobble Hill movie theater. Scarface at the Metropolitan. The Dufield movie theater closed in 1990 when they shot up the movie screen when New Jack City came out. That was dumb.

[@jasonibiza7993]

Anything Brooklyn I love

[@dissidentfairy4264]

The artist studios are so cool and I loved Yesterday's News! I'm still watching off and on because I have work to do. AK did you see on CNN today? The Chinese man who rescued a child who was dangling by it's fingers outside the window of an 8th floor building? It's Amazing what he did. It made me cry tears of joy! He's a real Superman for sure! I wish I could send you the link but I'm sure you can find it. It will make your day, it made mine:-)

[@Musicradio77Network]

This is where we used to lived there. I’ve been in Red Hook for a few years and in Carroll Gardens as well, and it brings back some memories. I missed being there. The one at the very beginning is what it used to be a marketplace on the left including a small grocery store, a hair salon and a pizza place. But sadly, they tore it down a few years ago when it was replaced by a new building which is still under construction. The one on the right is what used to be Key Food and then Met Food where I used to go grocery shopping. I never like the new building since they replaced the small marketplace. 😢

[@ActionKid]

So sad to hear about the marketplace being gone. Hopefully the new building has some space for businesses to move in.

[@elizabethdiaz5434]

Thank you for sharing nice video beautiful NYC and place great walk enjoy!❤️🗽❤️🗽👍

That trader joe's really does look interesting, there is also that trader joe's under the bridge by the Roosevelt tram maybe somewhere there's a compilation video of craziest trader joe's location maybe some funny fake ideas too

[@eugenedimitrov]

Hey AK! Wow! It's been a while I hung out in Brooklyn! Really into it !!!

It was here in this neighborhood that a crazy lunatic man of Chinese origin mowed down a few pedestrians with a rented U-Haul truck killing one man along crowded sidewalks

[@may-beeart7930]

On your last park slope stream, Steve Buscemi son passed you. Lol his name is Lucian Buscemi. His hair is purple and orange he stuck out.

[@daveni2]

if you told me this was bloor st, west in Toronto I would believe you. even more like Queen west but without the street cars

[@Neville60001]

2:30-This highway needs new _concrete_ supports.

[@FoodTravelFantastic]

At 17:45 in the video you walk past famous actor Michael Shannon. He's carrying a bunch of books. You never know who you'll see in NYC.

[@kaffeice7]

There were some cool examples when I searched for "art deco mcdonald's', would the Brooklyn Chipotle be in the results if I searched for "art deco chipotle"?

[@dissidentfairy4264]

I'm number 214 on the thumbs up. It seems rather appropriate for today:-)

[@pickyaudiophile9898]

Little complaint: Your noisy track pants are somewhat distractive.

[@birdscrabs]

Annoying noise clothing (synthetic wear) in background when you walking 😡. The rest is cool ! 👍

[@Eduardo-us2zm]

If I was a civil engineer I would watch videos like this and get paid for it

[@aprillovenlife]

Was trying to watch but the scratching of your coat or pants why you walk is very annoying

[@ss_sailaway]

That Uhaul truck tragedy in Brooklyn shows how untreated mental illness is bad for everyone. Here’s hoping you leave NYC soon for some safety at least.

[@tonycollazorappo]

I was born in Brooklyn NY in 1961. I like NY in general and plan on coming back one day, maybe not to live but continue to visit. I live in Florida, Miami, but I don't like the videos about Miami, boring seen it, not impressed even though I live here in Miami, lol. NY has a lot more vintage style.
