The Kravitzes went to the Red Hook Pool a few weeks ago and then went to the soccer field where they enjoyed excellent Mexican cuisine sold on food trucks. I see today that Gowanus Lounge has a guide to these delicious dining options.
Sure, there are dining options on Van Brunt Street in Red Hook. But for a real Red Hook treat, take thee to the Red Hook soccer fields. Maybe you’ve heard about the little gathering at the soccer fields at Clinton and Bay streets every weekend? Perhaps you’ve wandered past or driven by and wondered what all those little tents were about?
Well,
every weekend dozens of vendors set up these tents and they constitute
a virtual culinary tour of Central America. It may be New York City’s
most incredible and authentic street food experience, and one that you
probably won’t find replicated elsewhere. (We say "may be" and
"probably" only because we don’t know what other treats may lurk
somewhere else in Brooklyn or Queens or the Bronx about which we don’t
know.) Some of the weekend restaurants at the soccer fields have been
doing business in the same spot for years.
