Food carts are very important in everyday New Yorker’s lives. Students and workers stop at these carts to get food and get filled up for the day.
However, nobody really looks at the faces behind the food carts. These diligent workers help support the public by providing food appreciated by students.
According to “The Street Vendor Project” there are approximately 20,000 street vendors in NYC. Most owners of these street vendors are small business people making small amounts of money.
Uzhma (A TYWLS student from 9th grade), says that she thinks that the workers work hard “because it [the food] always tastes good.”
She also says that she goes to these food carts “at least once a week”, showing how often these people get customers.
