Announcing the 2011 Greenway Food Vendors
Apr 12, 2011
The
Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy
is expanding last year’s popular food vending program on the Greenway, and today announced the names and locations of the finalists and the food they will be serving. The expansion is based on the success of 2010’s successful pilot program. This year,
12 food vendors
will be operating in
eight locations
along the Greenway, as compared to six vendors/five locations in the previous year. The 2011 roster includes four food trucks, one trailer, one mobile kiosk, one bike, and five carts. In 2010, the only food truck was Clover Food Lab, which quickly became a sensation. The Conservancy’s goal is to have 10-15 food vendors on the Greenway every season. “There is really something for everyone when we talk about food vending on the Greenway,” says Nancy Brennan, executive director of the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy. “Lots of affordable, delicious options, in various locations around the Parks: BBQ, Indian street food, cupcakes, grilled cheese, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, smoothies. Great food, sunshine, fountains, WiFi, and free public events – there’s a lot of fun to be had on the Greenway!” The 12 vendors who were selected for the 2011 were chosen based on the distinctiveness of their offerings, the quality of their product, and their prices. From South to North they include:

Clover Food Lab and Silk Road BBQ are currently open for business on the Greenway. The ten other food vendors are expected to begin operations by Memorial Day Weekend. The Greenway parks are fully accessible to people with disabilities. The Wharf District Parks in the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway are accessible through the MBTA Aquarium (Blue Line) Station, and in close proximity to both North Station (Green, Orange and Commuter Rail Lines) and South Station (Red, Silver and Commuter Rail Lines).
About the Rose Kennedy Greenway
The Rose Kennedy Greenway is a ribbon of contemporary urban parks that connects people and the city by providing beauty, fun, and a sense of community in Boston. Now, four of Boston’s most diverse and dynamic neighborhoods – formerly divided by a massive structure of steel and asphalt – are linked by beautifully landscaped parks, gardens, and plazas and reconnected with the harbor. For more information, visit
www.rosekennedygreenway.org
.
About The Greenway Conservancy
The Conservancy is the designated steward of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a new ribbon of contemporary urban parks in the heart of Boston. We are delivering on the promise of a beautiful, vibrant, innovative city park. Established in July, 2004 through an agreement with the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, the City of Boston, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Conservancy is a private, non-profit organization, which operates, maintains, preserves and manages the parks on behalf of the public. The conservancy raises private and public funds to support the parks, aspiring to excellence in design, operations, and public programming.
