Jose, what makes you think the food you get at a random restaurant is any cleaner? eating out always has it’s hits and misses, you just never know… but i’m willing to take a chance for good food =)

Jose, perhaps you’ve had one bad experience at the ball fields, but I’ve enjoyed food there at least a dozen times over the last 5 years and have not once fallen ill. Oh, and they actually do have city permits and have to pass DOH inspections. I’m not sure where you’re getting your information.

Do not eat at red hook ball fields the food is dirty you will get sick.These people have no city permits,pay no taxes and are all Illegal aliens.Seriously the city doesn’t have inspectors at the site,you will get sick guarantee.

Hey Foodguy!!

This information is the best. I cant wait to get some good eats and take in some futbol!!

Same question as Vivian…how long does the vendor season run. I was looking to venture down in early October?

Also, can someone fill me in on the futbol schedule?? Do they play every Sat & Sunday, and what time??? Traveling from PA, so I want to make a day of it.

Lastly, any other suggestions on activities in the area?

Thanks!

How late in the season are the vendor’s at the Red Hook Ball Fields? I’m trying to plan a visit for some great food and am curious what type of schedule I’m looking at.

Thanks!

Thanks FoodGuy!! You saved my family from going all the way to Red Hook from Virginia on Friday and starving to death. We’ll see them on Saturday then. Really appreciate the heads-up. Cheers

Tom Hawke,
I spoke with the head of the Vendor’s committee and he said they will have regular hours the weekend of July 4th and will not be open on July 3rd.

Foodguy, I’m from out of town and really appreciate the info and maps. Visiting the Red Hook Vendors has been on my to-do list for a while. Any idea what their July 4th holiday schedule is likely to be? For instance, would they open on July 3rd (Friday) since it’s a holiday. Thanks again!!!
