So in case you didn’t know, The Chocolate Factory is not actually a chocolate factory(I know, it should be right?). It used to be way back when Red Hook was wee little. Now it just houses various local businesses and commercial space for lease. But it’s a great place to explore, and I am definitely a fan of promoting local business. Some businesses inside include a dance school called Solas An Lae(who I have seen perform, they are great!), a martial arts academy, a flower shop and a preschool. There is a also a yoga place called Sacred Space Yoga Sanctuary which I absolutely adore. There’s a few doctors offices as well that are housed here. There are some other places here too, but it’s really a place that is so unique that you have to just see it for yourself. All in all, it’s a great hidden gem of Red Hook and really, a place that should be appreciated more.
