damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Piaxtlan yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
According to DNAinfo, Piaztlan (also spelled Piaxtlan) — run by the Perez family — beat out the competition to win New York's 2012 Vendy Cup, the city's top street-vendor prize decided by a crowd of ticket-buying tasters at the annual Vendy competition. DNAinfo reports the family has served Red Hook's soccer-field crowds continuously since 1992, starting flea-market style at folding tables before moving into a truck in 2008.
The 2012 win followed two other Red Hook Ball Fields vendors taking the Vendy Cup in prior years — Country Boy Mexican in 2009 and Solber Pupusas in 2011, per DNAinfo — underscoring that demand at this specific stretch of the ball fields has drawn citywide recognition and competition turnout repeatedly, not just for Piaztlan.
