Yes. The usual middle eastern vendors (the coffee and donut guys) that I always see during my regular routine walk all seem to be out there during breakfast and lunch times. They dress and look "Americanized". The fruit vendor has that cleric look. My impression is that he is possibly from Yemen.

But as you said in your earlier post, the fruit man may be away from his stand in reverence to Ramadan. He could also be ill or dead or on the run from the "illegal vendor police." I would like to know whether attendance at the local mosque is off. I also wonder whether the Yemini guy is still selling inscense and other trinkets at the table across from the Port Authority.
