There are dozens of places to sit around the island, each time I have passed I have not seen more than 3 or 4 people using the tables and chairs.

It is almost funny how poorly this was run. River walk says no, I get that but how hard did they look for another vendor before going food truck route? I know John Brown's wanted the pier access 2 years ago but it went to Riverwalk. If not them the Strand easily could replicate service here, BareBurger actual office is by costco another simple choice. Or any of the 4-5 restaurants on Vernon

Trying to approach trucks 1 by 1 would be slow going. Why didn't they reach out to guys who Smorgasburg to try and do something multi-vendor on weekends. Successful vendors may have come back during the week.
