In order to enhance the visitor experience for the communities we serve, the Prospect Park Alliance (PPA) seeks to expand food options in the Park, with a focus on interesting, affordable, seasonal and healthy food. We invite you to participate by proposing your most inventive, exciting food idea, whether you are selling an assortment of healthy, fresh salads to people on the go, or offering hot and cold delicacies from a distant homeland. Whatever the idea, we want to see it. Partner with us and contribute to the flourishing food culture of Brooklyn.
