Food + Drink

Gary Buiso from The Brooklyn Paper reports that Calexico, the beloved taqueria on Union Street in the Columbia waterfront district (just over the BQE) was the sole bidder for a permit from the city to run a food cart at Smith and Union Streets, at Carroll Park.

Buiso has some more too on the controversial proposal by novelist and NPR host–and Carroll Gardens resident–Kurt Andersen, to turn the Carroll Park basketball courts into an Italian/Argentian-stype piazza, with tables served by local cafes.
