Take a deeper look into the life of a food vendor. New York Times interviewed NYC resident, Kabir Ahmed, on his daily routine and struggles of owning a food cart in the city in “A Day in the Life of a Food Vendor” by Tejal Rao. The article exemplifies Ahmed’s dedication and time put into his Halal food cart that is set up just blocks away from the World Trade Center.
 
The article states. “These vendors are a fixture of New York’s streets and New Yorkers’ routines, vital to the culture of the city.” Without devotion from people like Ahmed, this culture of the city would be non-existent.
