Countdown to March 1: the return of Fairway AND Red Hook Lobster Pound
Lobster season will be back in force in Brooklyn this Friday, March 1, which is when the Red Hook Lobster Pound will have its grand re-opening, starting at Noon.
The day is already a big one, as neighborhood touchstone Fairway Market is also set to reopen its doors that morning.
To join in the festivities, get to Fairway, located at 480 Van Brunt Street, any time between 7:30 and 11 a.m., which is when the market’s doors open. The nearly four hours of pre-opening fun includes live music from KTU’s Matt Bosso and the Brooklyn Dodger Symphony Band, giveaways, vendor samplings, guest cameos — including Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and Miss America Mallory Hagan, who lives in Park Slope.
