Sounds like theforthcoming Blue Smokejust got some competition: Fatty Crew overlord Zak Pelaccio tells us he and Kevin Pomplun are in the process of turning the formerPicnick and Picnick Smoked kiosksin Battery Park into a kiosk “tentatively titled” Fatty Snack, and a mobile version ofFatty ‘Cue, respectively. No doubt word of a (miniature) Fatty ‘Cue is welcome news indeed to the working masses of lower Manhattan. We’d personally beway intothe idea of being able to quickly grab some Pullman toast with master fat for lunch. But what of this Fatty Snack?

“It’ll serve soft-serve ice cream and cold sandwiches. Nothing cooked,” Pelaccio explains. “I want to do delivery to businesses down there.”

You may also recall Picnick was a Will Goldfarb operation? Pelaccio says Goldfarb is a “dear friend,” but: “Heflaked off to Bali, so we all hate him. I mean, we love him, but we’re just jealous of his lifestyle.”

Pelaccio tells us both will open this spring, after he returns from opening aFatty Crab outpost in St. John. (Which, we have to say, probably has weather that’s an awful lot like Bali’s.)
