Street Vendors are as much a part of New York City as the subway, yellow taxi cabs and the Empire State Building. I can't imagine traveling into New York without stopping at least once for food from a street vendor, whether it be a hot dog covered with sauerkraut and mustard, or a hot pretzel sprinkled with salt and a little mustard on the side for dipping.
I'd like to introduce you to this New York experience by filling your mind with images of it's history, and your senses with the smell of delicious street food. I can't imagine this "institution" leaving the City, though there are times when the concept of street vending global jerseys is challenged. It is because of this that organizations like the Street Vendor Project have been formed.
As immigrants made their way into the City of New York, hoping to find a better life than they had left behind in the land of their ancestors, street vending was one way to make money. The life wasn't easy, but many worked hard at whatever professions they could find or create to survive. Many had a hard time making it in business due to language barriers, and lack of proper education, but most can cook, so providing food to people on the street became a viable way of authentic nfl jerseys wholesale making money. This is a very early and historic photo print of a pretzel vendor and an emigrant in New York City. Click the image for more information.
I'm hoping the map will cooperate and show you the places I've marked, if not, here are the spots, and you can search for them on this New York map:
51st St. and 7th Avenue Jamaican Food
46th St. and 6th Avenue Indian Food
47th St., and 3rd Avenue Wafels and Dinges
Watch the video above for more information about these vendors.
