Red Hook Rumor Mill

Curbed's got the goodies on Red Hook today. It's got a report from the Brooklyn Papers about the Scandinavian company's embedding of its company name on the esplanade railing--so that people can find the building (uh, it's the GIGANTIC BLUE BOX right behind you!). Also, the soon-to-opened Fairway down the street from the Ikea site will have fresh bagels! store-roasted coffee! a restaurant! store-smoked fish! an organic section! (NYDaily News) And the QM2 will dock at the new cruise-ship terminal in Red Hook on April 15.

And from the Curbed comments section, someone points out Ikea's pretty nifty environmental and labor guidelines, found at Treehugger.
