Some Commonly Asked Questions

Yesterday's Sausage Index: 3 spears of asparagus with sun-dried tomato feta sauce (non-sausage), plus 1/2 each beef and turkey sausages, cut up, in a box of Trader Joe's macaroni & cheese consumed with husband for dinner (sausages brought home because cosmetic flaws rendered them unsellable but emminently edible).

We set the cart up at Union Square yesterday for a special event with Allure Magazine. I was working the afternoon shift and arrived to see the cart abuzz with action. It was perhaps our best day yet, sales-wise. A prominent position on a busy corner didn't hurt. But I have to say that Union Square lacks the charm of our regualr spot in Bleecker Playground.

More people walking past the cart means more random querys.
