Fairway reopens to cheers, dancing, and large crowds
Welcome back, Fairway!
Hundreds of shoppers and neighbors from across Brooklyn and New York City came to Fairway Market’s Red Hook store at 480 Van Brunt Street this morning to celebrate the store’s grand reopening — a much-anticipated event that brought together city officials, singing and dancing schoolchildren, and Miss America 2013.
“Red Hook has always been defined by its place on our waterfront — during good times and bad — but it’s also been defined by incredible toughness and resiliency,” said Mayor Michael Bloomberg, then adding that “the reopening of Fairway is a big step forward in Red Hook’s recovery.”
