Gowanus Lounge reports on the latest in the fight to save the Red Hook food vendors. He’s got pix, too.
Will the beloved Red Hook vendors be subjected to a competitive bidding
process that could result in the loss of yet another Brooklyn
institution? Cesar Fuentes, the head of the vendor’s group will be meeting on Tuesday with Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe
(who has so far been silent on an issue that has been prominent in the
media and on which even U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer has weighted in), Brooklyn Borough Commissioner Julius Spiegel, City Council Member Sara Gonzalez and others. Food blogger Porkchop Express,
who has reviewed all of the Red Hook food stands in detail, has also
apparently been invited in order to offer his perspective on the
vendors and their importance to the community.
