ballfields addendum

wonderful profile of all vendors at red hook, including a map & what amounts to a menu (!) for many of the vendors.

Red Hook Ballfields Open!

so, it looks like this weekend, my weekend can get off to a fan-tastic start. the mexican/ecuadoran/el salvadoran food at the red hook ballfields is the best latin food in new york city, and it's also probably the cheapest. i think the most expensive thing there is a huarache, which is 4 bucks, and it's gi-gantic. last summer i would routinely dare myself to get one of everything (we're not talking infinite variety here), so 1 ear of corn w/ lime & mayonesa & queso & pepper, one bean & cheese pupusa with ensalada & hot sauce, & 1 bean & cheese huarache with veggies & radishes & whatever weird and delicious hot sauce that was out that day (sometimes green, sometimes orange - i think the orange one is scotch bonnet so beware, it killed me but i'm a wimp about hot stuff), and i would be so stuffed that it would be naptime, & that whole meal, plus a beverage...9 bucks. okay, more about this next week...with pictures.
