Red Hook Vendors Going to ‘Dreamland’

The new, third retail spot for the Red Hook Ball Field Vendors—hinted by executive director Cesar Fuentes to be a “historic Brooklyn location that will soon promise to be one of the most talked about events in NYC” —is looking more and more to be Dreamland on Coney Island, a two-dozen rides strong amusement park hoisted on the burial grounds of former Astroland site. Dreamland, named for a Tammany-era Coney Island attraction that burned down in 1911, will also feature wide variety of food stalls. UPDATE: A press release from Thor Equities confirms that some Red Hook Ball Field Vendors will be part of a large "Foodie Tent" (cringe) at Dreamland this summer. Per the release: "Hundreds of vendors from across the City and State, ranging from some of the City’s best artisans and designers...will be setting up shop," as part of a summer-long "Festival by the Sea."
