A Bicycle Built For Food

February 10, 2012 2:25 PM

Food blog Edible Geography reveals the history of the New York food cart. You know, the ones that look like reverse rickshaws with big boxes full of ice cream or hot dogs up front. In a related post they cover a scandalous controversy involving cart substitutions, stolen holograms, a criminal bureaucracy, and the olde 19th century rent-a-vet licensing scam.

Nothing beats a stop at the food cart for some khlav kalash and crab juice.
