2nd Street and Avenue A now halal-cart free
When we last checked in on the biggest Halal Cart Story of 2014 on Jan. 1, the proprietor decided to move his operation about 50 feet down East Second Street from the southeast corner of Avenue A.
However, we didn't spot the cart again with the snowstorm of Jan. 2/Jan 3 … followed by those frigid temps … perhaps sitting this weather out?

One of the residents who had been unhappy with the cart's arrival in late December said that he had a long talk with the proprietor on Jan. 1… and he said that the cart would be moving toward Second Avenue…
We haven't spotted it again… In any event, the cart won't be returning to Avenue A and East Second Street… which is likely a good thing — seems as if a civil cart war was brewing among various residents...
As you may recall, a few neighbors had complained of noise, exhaust fumes, dumped ashes and a blocked sidewalk, among other things…

"Just about an hour ago in front of Reciprocal. There was arguing, pointing, shouting, and a brief appearance by the NYPD. Guy on the right just wheeled his cart up beside the Halal guy who has been across from the mosque for years. Also, it's totally blocking the view to the shop, entirely."
Then! A little later.
The NYPD returned. More arguing! Developing...
