  1. Just five vendors at Red Hook; the only sporting activity is American football, on adjacent fields. No huaraches.
  2. Piccolo Cucina Focacceria, 120 MacDougal: now open. Supremely creamy arancini.
  3. Il Cantuccio, 91 Christopher: "opening postponed due to technical issues," according to a notice on the door.
  4. Highlands, 150 W 10: that's not the skirl of bagpipes, it's the whine of power tools. Still, open for business later, it seems.
  5. Royal Kathin Celebration on Sunday: correct address is 76-16 46th Ave., in Elmhurst, Queens, near the subway hub at Roosevelt and 74th St.
  6. @EaterNY Food-Friendly Events, October 30-November 5 http://bit.ly/12hBB8
  7. Checking In: Green Apple BBQ http://bit.ly/1nxnbc
  8. Bake sale now, Chinese United Methodist Church, Catherine St. Great banana bread, served by the baker, Alice, 75 cents.
  9. The Meat Hook and Sweet Deliverance have crossed "New York City" off their signs and proudly printed "Brooklyn."
  10. At New Amsterdam Market, the longest line: Luke's Lobster, by far. They're rolling, literally. While supplies last.
  11. Replacement rainy-day event, the Fort Green Food Conference: http://brooklynfoodconferen...
  12. The Red Hook Harvest Festival has been canceled due to Saturday's rainy forecast and will not be rescheduled this year. Sorry.
  13. @EaterNY Food-Friendly Events, October 23-28 http://bit.ly/1C5wMt
  14. Word on the Street? It's Satisfaction http://bit.ly/2pBIRC
  15. On Adam Clayton Powell, saw two separate trucks up from Georgia, selling cane syrup, jam, produce, etc. Bought some green boiled peanuts.
  16. The takeout operation, open now, will be shunted next door on October 28, when the all-you-can-eat buffet reopens with seating for 30.
  17. "You eat that like a country boy!" said Charles Gabriel, watching me mop my platter with cornbread as his new Country Pan-Fried Chicken.
  18. Dickson's meats will find a home at Tipsy Parson, too, perhaps once a week in a blue-plate special.
  19. A short walk up Ninth Ave., the awning is out at Tipsy Parson (kin to Little Giant, on the Lower East Side). When will it open? "A week."
  20. Opposite the display case, that gleaming metal shelf will be giddy with condiments when the kitchen fires up "in a week and a half."
