Gowanus Lounge has the report and the pix. And it sounds like it was quit the political and media event.

It was anything but a typical Saturday at the Red Hook Ballfields as Sen. Charles Schumer dropped by to demand that the city drop plans that could lead to the eviction of its Latino food vendors. The vendors’ most prominent and politically influential advocate was joined by Red Hook Vendors Committee director Cesar Fuentes, Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, food writer Ed Levine and chef Andrew Carmellini. About a half-dozen TV crews and assorted bloggers, print journalists and photographers took in the scene.
