About this Episode

Street vendors, including hot dog carts and art sellers, were hit hard during the pandemic. But are they starting to recover now? TRD’s Sasha Jones talks to two vendors about their businesses, along with Dan Biederman, the head of 34th Street Partnership, about how the real estate industry has clashed with vendors over the years.

You’ll also hear John Rennie Short, a professor of public policy at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, discuss how New York City is now trying to save the profession.
