Eat Cetera: Red Hook Vendors, Aurora, Slow Food Book Club

Red Hook Food VendorsRed Hook Food Vendors: Red Hook Park has long been home to authentic Latin American cuisine in the summertime, and they're gearing up for their May 1st return to their corner of the park. But Executive Director of the Food Vendors Committee Cesar Fuentes has some other exciting news for Red Hook. He'll be opening up Red Hook Mercado on Van Brundt Street, a community center of sorts where music, movies, local crafts and food will all meet. He tells NYC Food Guy that at least one of the Red Hook Park food vendors will have a spot at the new market, where their food will be available year round. NYC Food Guy thinks the chosen vendor will be Rafael Soler, who will be flipping pupusas at Central Park Summer Stage. But what about Vendy award winner Fernando Martinez? Who's taking bets? — Gothamist
