Turf War?

According to the NYTIMES there's a turf war raging on the streets of New York City and it involves a food fight.

That's right- vendors of cupcakes, thai food, and all around sweet treats have been duking it out with the good old new york staple- hot dog vendors.

Anyone whose every been on a NYC street knows that the hardest part of navigating the city is carefully manuevering between the pedestrians, cabs and food vendors. Block after block is often covered- from corner to corner- with a wide variety of delicious smelling treats. I've had the halal carts, and the pretzel/knish carts, as well as the heated chestnuts at christmas time, and honestly I've never been sick.

This new wave of vendors,however, brings the couture food directly to you. Cupcakes are so in right now!! And the availability and accessibility of a cupcake truck is so awesome! It's exactly what the city that wants everything done yesterday needs.

How to balance these turf wars? Read the article, it might make sense it might not. As long as your not a vendor, does it really matter whose on what corner? No, it doesnt- just get out there and enjoy all the street treats this city has to offer!
