A change in food vendors on 1st Avenue and 6th Street



Just noting the arrival this past weekend of a gyro-falafel cart on First Avenue at Sixth Street... this prompted several readers to ask what happened to the fruit-vegetable vendor who's usually here. I last saw him on Saturday afternoon...

  4. He told me he was leaving Oct 31 because they don't get enough customers in the winter.

    I feel so ashamed.

    Is a beef patty not a fruit? If you prick it, doth it not bleed? If you squeeze it, doth it not ooze? If you tickle it, doth it not ...

    never mind; not going to go there.
