Sidewalk Halal food cart, New York City

This is another photograph that I have had sitting on my computer desktop for months, since shortly after we returned from New York on the last days of 2015. There probably isn’t a whole lot to say about this photograph. (Or is there?) These food carts are everywhere in New York, day and night. And I hear that they are soon coming to the San Francisco Bay Area, too. It must have been a slow day for the vendor, since he seems to have plenty of time to sit at the front of the cart and watch the world go by.

These food carts and lots of other similar versions are all over Manhattan. I know that isn’t news to New Yorkers, but it is a bit impressive to those of us who visit the place. I have yet to eat at one, but my sons tell me that the food isn’t bad.

I photographed this one (obviously!) at night as we wandered around a crowded portion of Fifth Avenue on Christmas Eve, not far from Rockefeller Center and lots of other stuff that drew huge crowds there on this evening. Against that dark background, the wildly lit cart, festooned with colorful signs describing the food and stacked with bottles of soda was surrounded in a cloud of smoke from food preparation.
