IKEA brings you the new Red Hook weekend.

These pictures were taken last Sunday afternoon at the intersection of Bay Street and Henry Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn, about five blocks from the IKEA which opened on June 18. Bay Street runs through the Red Hook ballfields and is part of the interim route for the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway, as are other local streets impacted by IKEA traffic. The opening of IKEA brought a very noticeable change in the amount of car traffic in Red Hook; MTR will soon post a full “before and after IKEA” slideshow.
