Vendy
Awards
|
|
| Sponsored
by the Regional Plan Association, watch for details on their
upcoming seafood festival. We’ll be shouldering the
oyster end, and hope to have our oyster barge short, some
documentation and a lot about oystering history in New York
Harbor. |

In
2007, we opened “Serving It Up on the City’s
Cart Wheels: Pushcarts as New York’s Portable Food Supply”
at the Vendor Project’s very own Vendy Awards. We had
such a good time and learned so much, we’re expanding
this examination of one of the most important, misunderstood
and fun features of New York’s food distribution system.
We’ll be posting the Vendy Awards schedule as it gets
finalized. |

2007-2008:
The Year of the Oyster Barge |
This
year’s major push is to secure, restore, and reopen in
New York Harbor the last remaining oyster barge. These floating
fish markets used to grace both shores of Lower Manhattan, canning,
pickling and wholesale and retail selling oysters, one of the
big harvests of the brackish waters of the Hudson, harbor, and
Long Island Sound. Chances are good, but we need your financial
(and other) support to make this happen, so let us know if you
want more information on how you can help.
