Description
David Weber, President of the NYC Food Trucks Association (NYCFTA), and founding member of Rickshaw Dumplings, and joins THE FOOD SEEN to discuss a pressing matter. The NYPD has recently been asked to enforce a 1950s Transportation Department regulation that states, no vendor, hawker or huckster shall park a vehicle at a metered parking space to offer merchandise for sale from the vehicle, effectively threatening the food truck street presence in Midtown Manhattan, as well as in all 5 boroughs. Kim Ima, owner/operator of Treats Truck, and a trailblazer of the food truck scene, calls in to discuss how this effects not only our cityscape of food, but how it compromises the integrity of many trucks business models and tests the limits of their faithful customer base.
