OK, people. It's time to join together and fight the man. Grub Street has the story this morning that the Parks Department has given the Red Hook Ball Fields vendors notice that September 8 will be their last day. As someone who, just this past weekend, was drinking melon juice and freaking out about how delicious my quesadilla was, I urge you all to let Adrian Benepe know what a tragedy this move would be.
This is tragic news and is quickly becoming the norm, unfortunately.
Second Avenue deli,
Astroland,Marion's,CBGB's,Katz's Deli etc etc R.I.P.
NYC will be a vapid,souless lot of luxury high-rise condos! For what? After the culture is sucked dry why live here?
We must put an end to the pillaging of NYC!
