EV Grieve readers Meaghan Burke and Liz Prutting send along the above shot of a traveler/crusty setting up a bunk in an East Village stairwell ... They asked some questions that other readers have been curious about: "He was ... playing games on his smartphone. Where does he charge this phone? Who pays the bill? Games use up a lot of data..."

I am not sure who pays the bill but in regards to charging. I once saw some crusty's open the bottom little door of a lamp post and charge their iPod in it....

Crusties are basically Juggalos with better aesthetics. It's a subculture of really damaged mostly-youth. So what if some of them have dad's platinum card? Clearly dad didn't give 'em more important things. I don't envy or resent them (at least long as the junkies among them dispose of their needles properly)
