Fairway Market in Red Hook was completely destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. We spoke with Steve Jenkins about the "complete overhaul of our beloved Red Hook store. It just breaks my heart." The store was flooded with 5 feet of water that destroyed every bit of food and all the equipment. Customers can help by returning to Fairway Market in Red Hook as soon as they reopen.
"All day, all of us are talking to all of our vendors. We are partners. What is good for them is good for us. Vice versa. We'll get it done. We are tough. We are big boys and big boys don't cry." -- Steve Jenkins of Fairway Market
