Red Hook vendors: The ceviche hasn't suffered, but the huraches are dangerously cramped

Dan and Nina tried weekend before this last and, of course, nada. But Lota and I were there this weekend, hot as it was, and had the shrimp ceviche and the tuna sopa. And cheese empanadas. But we didn't know about the cart / truck arrangements. Here's a Gothamist link, voicing some of the crowd's disappointment. It's true what some of the comments say - what had been a beautiful, earthy neighborhood thing has been squeezed into tin cans. Gone are the big tarps over the woodchips at the edge of the fields and the crowds around the chairs and tables. But, damn, that tuna soup is still mindblowing.
