Food To Go

I'm browsing the online version of the NYTimes and this article made me giggle. Earlier in the week I was near Lincoln Center running to a massage appointment (a nice treat for the end of school) and was hungry. I didn't want to sit down and eat or get fast food so I got a dirty water dog. That's a hot dog from a push cart to those non-New Yorkers. Usually they are delicious despite the not so appealing name. Sadly - the one I had was not. Stale bun. Tasteless dog. So disappointing. Not even the spicy mustard could help this poor dog out.

Today in the Times there's an article about Street Vendors & the problems they have been facing lately - everything from a fake permit scandal to parking woes. I googled street vendors to find out a little more info about them and came up with a few good links & blogs

Food Vendor Watch - by a fellow Bronx Blogger

Street Vendor Project - a project from the Urban Justice System to help education and fight for the rights of street vendor workers
