Tiburon 2

About Tiburon 2

Tiburon 2 is the Red Hook shop that most feels like the neighbourhood it is in: small, personal, slightly unclassifiable, and run by someone who has been there a long time. Owner Anne O'Neil is a longtime Red Hook local, and the shop reflects a resident's eye rather than a buyer's strategy — vintage clothing hangs alongside secondhand books, souvenirs, soaps, socks, ceramics, and the sort of small odd objects that are difficult to describe and easy to buy.

The vintage clothing selection is genuine but compact, weighted toward wearable everyday pieces rather than collector rarities. What people come back for is the mix: it is a shop where you might leave with a 70s shirt, a used paperback, and a bar of soap, which is a fair description of how shopping in Red Hook actually works. Reviewers single out the staff and owner repeatedly — this is a shop where you get talked to.

Prices are moderate and unpretentious, which distinguishes Tiburon 2 from the more design-conscious end of Van Brunt Street. It is the accessible middle of Red Hook's small secondhand scene, sitting between Open Invite's curated homewares and Erie Basin's appointment-only antique jewellery.

The shop opens around noon and keeps limited days — check before travelling, as with everything in Red Hook. It sits on Van Brunt Street a short walk from Open Invite, and the two together make the neighbourhood's walk-in secondhand offer. Red Hook has no subway: the B61 bus from Downtown Brooklyn, the B77 from Cobble Hill, or the seasonal NYC Ferry to the Beard Street dock are your options.
