Red Hook Ball Fields Update

You step away from your computer for a nice Friday afternoon, and you miss breaking news. Ed Levine reported yesterday that the Red Hook Ball Fields vendors have a reprieve. They now have a permit until October 28, a decision that Ed's source says

Eater has the Sen. Chuck Schumer release announcing the deal.

Celebrate with a bowl of Carmen & Victor Rojas' ceviche. So far, the day is nice, but the weather man says it'll rain later.

P.S. Don't miss Fernanda Santos' look behind the scenes at Margarita Hernández's stand in today's NYT.
