NYC FOOD CART TOUR: Vendy Plaza

Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. NYC Food Cart Tour is my exploration of the hard-working vendors feeding NYC’s population every day.

For five weeks, the folks at the Vendy Awards (and the Street Vendor Project) teamed up with City Council Speaker Melissa Mark Viverito to host Vendy Plaza with a roster of rotating vendors serving unique and diverse food offerings and music. The goal is to activate the outdoor space that’s part of the public market La Marqueta in East Harlem and gather people from the area and afar. It’s a fun afternoon and the last event (for 2014) is this coming Sunday, November 23.
