Barbara - Wall St. Whiz
Location: Broadway at Wall Street, NE corner
Vendor's Name: Barbara
Hours: lunch
Days: 5 (?)
Dishes: italian sausage, gyro, knish, hot dogs, chili dogs, patties, more
Prices: $1.50 through $3.50
Barbara was my model when I was learning to be a vendor. Her cart is remarkable less for the range of dishes - she serves a standard (if expanded) run of traditional pushcart fare - than for the speed and efficiency of her operation, and the resultant consistancy and freshness of her offerings.
You can smell the piles of onions and peppers cooking slowly as you pass by, and to me this makes the italian sausage hero (loaded high with the savory vegetables) my number one pick, but anything you pick here will be a credit to her profession.

Hester@Bowery--Gone?!
Has anyone seen the cart which used to be at Hester and Bowery Streets (NW corner)? I haven't seen it at that location since at least May, and I'm getting worried... A new store opened on that corner, with it's main doorway directly adjacent to where the cart used to be. A scaffold has been erected on the building (although the poles would be far enough apart to allow the cart to fit), and a fruit stand has been setting up where the cart used to be.
If anyone has seen the cart, in that or in any other location, please tell me... I'm craving their deep-fried delicacies!
