Park advocates and city officials who don't want a restaurant in Union Square Park are not giving up the fight, despite a two-year legal battle and a judge's ruling allowing it.

To add some context, the Times notes that the debate over eateries in parks is "older than aged wine." [DNAinfo/NYT; previously]
