Red Hook Vendors Get Permits
The Parks Department has given Latin-American food sellers 6 year permits.
by Laura Silver
NEW YORK, NY March 12, 2008 —This preserves what's become a weekend tradition of sidewalk snacking for soccer players, spectators and foodies.
Ed Levine, founder of seriouseats.com, says Red Hook's fields are a great place to sample goat tacos, ceviche and huaraches - cornmeal dough piled high with vegetables and meat.
But, Levine says it's not just about stuffing your face.
LEVINE: You go there, not just because the food is great, but for the feeling.
REPORTER: Levine says seeing the vendors selling food from their native countries is an authentic New York City experience that rivals the famous "dirty water" hot dogs.
