Noticed the return of a concession hut on the beach the other day.  And today, I heard the details.
Three years ago, the DEP forced the Borough of Stone Harbor to remove the wooden sheds because they viewed the structures as permanent. Odd, because the huts were placed on raised platforms and hauled off the beach each fall.
Obtaining the proper permits took several years…and now, we can once again buy ice cream without tracking down the Fudgy Wudgy guy 😉
The stand locations will remain the same as in years past. Some will offer beach item rentals, too.

Foodie news: although Bradley’s Steaks moved to 83rd Street and Third Avenue, their former location will continue to offer sandwiches and cheese steaks to the hungry south end crowd. Sunset Steaks & Shakes will join Clarke’s Sunset Market next door. Â 108th and Third Avenue.
