Brooklyn Nibbles: Red Hook Ballfields Food Opening Delayed!

Attention Brooklyn foodies: If you've been waiting for the increasingly well-known food stands at the Red Hook Ball Fields to open you are going to have to wait another weekend. The stands were supposed to open tomorrow (4/28), but the opening has been pushed back to May 5. The food blog Pork Chop Express got an email from organizers saying, "administrative issues beyond our control have forced us to push this date to May 5th...We are very excited to set-up shop (or rather... shacks!) and begin our season as soon as possible." There were reports of some booths being open last weekend, so there might be some food action this weekend too. In the meantime, the organizers report they'll soon have a website, www.redhooklatino.org. It's not live yet, though. What will become of the some of the best Mexican and Latino food in all of New York City next year when Red Hook becomes an access corridor for the waterfront Ikea a couple of blocks away is anyone's guess. For now, though, eat up, starting Saturday, May 5.
