The recalculated red hotness of Red Hook came in the form of a Fall food and drink preview dedicated strictly to the neighborhood in last week’s Time Out, written up with an ersatz, vaguely Swedish alphabet meant to evoke IKEA label kookiness. Among the umlaut-heavy listings was one for Stumptown Coffee’s first New York store, which will reportedly open in the former heating and air conditioning place seen here, at 219 Van Brunt Street. Some time back, the old lettering on the storefront was unrelatedly and strategically repainted to memorialize its humble machine shop beginnings: It now reads “Eating and Art Conditioning.” It’s a funny welcome for a coffee shop known for taking good care of its beans, and equally for displaying works by local artists.
