So in case you didn't know, The Chocolate Factory is not actually a chocolate factory ( I know, it…read moreshould 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.

I cannot speak to an experience working in this space but I did enjoy a really cool networking…read moreevent here. Their intern Makayla was so kind and informative when we arrived, gave us a quick lay of the land and offered us a day pass to try out the co-working space in the future. The space is equipped with a meeting rooms, desk space, a podcast recording studio, gender neutral restroom and kitchen with complimentary coffee, tea and filtered water. During our networking event we were introduced to the CoWork Kingston staff, all of which were quite welcoming and enthusiastic about having us in their space. Metered parking on the neighboring streets, CoWork Kingston is happy to provide quarters if you need them. Signed, The Happy Hour Huntress

The following is an exchange I had with presumably the owner/founder of this enterprise - Scott…read moreTillett. It exemplifies the degradation in society at all levels, companies, businesses, corporations, media, culture. What used to be dignified civil society has become a sewer mass of immorality and degradation where the debased and degraded is lauded as the accepted cultural norm. Yes the facilities of this enterprise are just fine - new, "modern" in all its expected respects, but I was speaking of something far greater than all of that. Do not simply accept and go along with what this present culture has become; because it's now the world around you does not mean you cannot stand up and speak out against it. Invariably you'll get the immature and unprofessional response below - in my day businesses would have apologized, perhaps tried to explain in a more conciliatory matter to the prospective patron that sometimes communiques can become more casual when people are feeling more comfortable (although the regular outgoing company newsletter should not and never be) and to apologize for the laxity. In this case, not only was there no such apology, the result is for the person speaking to be ostensibly "removed" from the sphere of discussion, "cancelled" if you will out of the recipient's domain; obviously it was just your particular sensibility that was offended, no real violation of cultural norms had occurred so we don't need to even take you seriously or offer you the civilized respect of a discussion about it. My point is, the more you don't speak out and allow garbage, the more garbage you'll find around you, and it is all around us now, no matter how new and shiny the surface. ---------------------------------------------- Me: Hello could you please refrain from including curse words or ostensibly covered up curse words in your newsletters, e.g., "Perfect for folks who have a short-term project and just need a private space to get $h!t done." Maybe just one generation ago, that would be unheard of in a professional communication sent out by a seemingly professional organization, but the worst forms of degradation are happening in every from of media, corporations and advertising; this is just another symptom and evidence. I really don't want to be bombarded with curse words first thing in the morning when I open up a company information newsletter. Thank you. Owner: Apologies to have offended you, Anita. We will remove you from our email list. Best, Scott

In the back of the store there is a small art studio dedicated to clowns which I thought was awesomely weird and cool. My wife and I love clowns and the circus so this was a hit with us.
