PrintRed Hook Taco Vendors: Sometimes the Good Guys Do Win
Chuck Schumer can rest easy. His Saturday afternoon stop for goat tacos, the collection of Red Hook soccer field food vendors, will continue to be a haven for food lovers for the next six years. The forces of real, honest food won this time.
I hope the good senator tries the huaraches next time he's there. For more info and a great photo taken by my friend Peter Cunningham, click here.

Woohoo! My mom visits me in New York once a year, and she insisted that we go to the Red Hook ball fields. BTW, I went to Duane Park Patisserie this weekend and bought an apple turnover, based on your recommendation. While you haven't steered me wrong before, I was disappointed. It was floppy and thin, and the apple filling melded with the pastry. Maybe it's because I ate it that night, but a caveat to eat while fresh would have been helpful. Also, I was tempted to by Koeze's PB at Fairway yesterday.

I just read on Curbed that it will cost individual vendors approximately $30,000 each to bring his or her stand up to code. Sadly, perhaps the good guys only won the first round.

That does sound like a lot of money for the vendors, BaHa, but I think it was inevitable once the city put the concession up for bid.

The good guys didn't win. The bureaucrats won. They always win.
