I see the NYC nanny-staters have a new target. Time to get rid of street food carts in New York. If you want to eat lunch, you’ll have to spend $15 for a sandwich in a deli or restaurant.

The big-government/big-corporate crony-fascist complex does not appreciate competition from small business.
That's why they love the minimum wage. It can be used to drive small businesses out of business.

And yet I bought tacos made of “mystery meat” from a street vendor in Cabo with no ill effects.
:-D

When I was in Mexico, the base state of being in business is a tray of food around your neck with a heat source. Somebody had practically every corner covered. My hosts had their favorites and I ate everything from fish to beef with no ill effects. True, you were, in my opinion, taking your chances. But the vendors seemed to have tasty and hot food. (The spices and heat probably cuts down on bacteria.)
If Mexico had the laws and regulation we have here none of those people would be making a living. What we need here is fewer laws and regulation.

Lack of regulation in NY? LOL

When was the last time you got sick from a food cart....anywhere? Never - because I never eat at those food carts in New York City. Many restaurants aren't better.

Is this Bloomberg again, targeting yet another group of private entrepreneurs, under the guise of "safety"?

When I lived in the Northeast in the late eighties early nineties, we used to eat at the street carts in NYC all the time. When you are sightseeing or shopping in the city it was a fast meal and usually good. We never had a problem. Also, I might add 300 complaints in 3 years where millions of people eat everyday is not a lot. Of course if you are the one with food positing you might think differently, but this is not an issue....

My daughter backpacked through Viet Nam (and SE Asia) in 2002. She ate most of her food at street vendors in open markets. Did not get sick once.
She said she stood back and watched a little while. Chose the vendors with the longest lines and least flies.

Its very loose, the enforcement The lament of Italians and Germans in the 1920s.
Lord knows we could not have food prepared, bought and consumed by consenting adults without government occupying a seat at the table.
