If you thought this was a done deal, you were wrong. The Red Hook Vendors food season was officially extended today as the Parks Department announced it was giving a six-week extension on the temporary permits the vendors use. The extension will allow them to work at the Red Hook Ballfields through the end of October. The development was reported this afternoon by the Associated Press. Presumably, the Department of Health, which has also targeted the vendors for stepped up enforcement, won’t make the end of the season impossible for them. A long-term permit will be up for bid at the end of the season and the Parks Department has said the criteria would be written in such a way that it will not be a strictly monetary decision.
