Red Hook Ball Field My Way
I like to think that I’m pretty much a veteran when it comes to the Red Hook Vendors. It’s fun to see newbies trying to navigate their way around Red Hook and the vendors at the ball field. It’s not fun when the newbies ask silly questions and hold up the line. Once I was asked, while standing in front of the ceviche vendor getting a cheese empanada, if the ceviche there was safe. *sigh….
The first thing I do when I get there is to stand in the pupusa line, knowing that later the line will be a 45min to an hour wait. Also they usually have lots of meat and cheese pupusas already cooking on the griddle and they’ll ask who wants meat and cheese. If meat and cheese pupusa is your thing grab it, that’ll make your wait shorter. After eating the pupusas and resting I head for the ceviche cart to get 2 cheese empanadas. They’re sooooo good. Fried to golden goodness with the melty cheese inside. Then I wash everything down with a watermelon juice or a pineapple juice, large please!
Recently I started to not go to the pupusa line but instead go for the less crowded ones. When you get to the ball field you’ll definitely know which vendors are more popular. I know the general idea is if there’s a long line it must be good! Well this time I decided to go to go for the vendors with short to no lines. So if you walk down on Bay St and make a left on Clinton you’ll find Perez Tacos. They serve awesome steak tacos and I usually get two. Last year while waiting in line the guy in front of me got chicharron or pork rind on his tacos! I obviously copied him and was I glad I did! For no extra money you get four to five pieces of chicharron. They went soooo well with the steak tacos. So this time around I went with the same thing but now to get chicharron with your steak tacos you’ll have to add $1 extra. For $1 you only get two but it’s only $1 more for good fried porky skin goodness.
So I say go try something new and give all the vendors at the ball field a chance.
