The city may not grant permits to vendors who have been serving up Latin street food in the Red Hook Recreation Area for many summers. The Parks Dept. has only granted the acclaimed vendors temporary, two-week permits to sell their food this year, and it says it wants to open up a competitive bidding process for other vendors. The place where the vendors sell their food is near an Ikea that is set to open, and it is possible that the Parks Dept. wants to allow a corporate concessionaire to set up shop in place of the current mom-and-pop vendors. more [Gowanus Lounge]
