Brooklyn Nibbles: Hook's La Bouillabaisse Shows Neon Lobster

We passed by the much-anticipated Neil Ganic restaurant La Bouillabaisse on Beard Street in Red Hook and found the steel grate up and the neon sign illuminated. The back door was open and one or two workers on the premises. The basics look like they're in place, but there appears to be some work remaining to be done on details. The word, however, is that the eatery could open in a few weeks. Soon, Beard Street will have both a big Ikea and a neon lobster in a window reflecting the cranes of the old Todd Shipyard. We are complete.
