The Red Hook Ballfield taco vendors have gotten a permit from the Parks Department to operate their food stands for the next six years. Eater is reporting that Parks Department has announced a positive end to the drama that overshadowed much of last year's taco and huarache-eating season. A release quotes Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe as saying "One of the great New York City pleasures is enjoying tacos, huaraches and other fine Latin American cuisine at Red Hook Park,” said Commissioner Benepe. “The Parks Department is happy to keep this longstanding tradition in place." Vendors executive director Cesar Fuentes says the vendors are "thrilled to be able to continue our 33-year-old tradition." Eater has the full text of the release. The vendors had previously said that city requirements for carts costing up to $30,000 could drive many of them out of business, but for now all is well. Huaraches, pupusas and horchata all around starting soon.
