SANDY HOOK: TRUCK EATS TO REPLACE STANDS

Park superintendent Jennifer T. Nersesian told the news site that stands at areas B, C and E will be demolished, with utility hookups installed at areas C and E for the mobile food trucks and vending machines.

From the report:

Repairs will be made to the buildings at beaches G and I and those, too, will be equipped with utility hookups for mobile food trucks and vending machines.

Nersesian said park officials have not yet determined what to do with the busiest beach center, at Area D, which housed the Sea Gull’s Nest, a popular restaurant. That building sustained extensive damage during Hurricane Sandy and like the other concession stands, has been closed since the Oct. 29, 2012, storm because of the lack of federal funding to make the necessary repairs. The National Park Service has contracted with mobile food vendors since then to service park patrons.

redbankgreen‘s PieHole food page checked out the food trucks — “peddling everything from brain-freezing ice-cream to naked empanadas at the clothing-optional Gunnison Beach” — last summer. See our story here.
