1) NYC Cravings asks where you work, because they see you on mondays AND fridays...

2) Jamaican Dutchy asks how many curry chicken mini-meals we want as we approach the window.

    3) The vendor truthfully tells you that lamb over rice isn't exactly healthy, and suggests that a salad every once and a while would probably be in your best interest.

    4) they charge you $5 instead of the $6 they charge everyone else.

    5) They know the specifics of your picky order without you having to ask. "The mixed grill, over the salad not the rice, lots of onions, no tomatoes, extra white sauce, please"

    7) If she doesn't have your favorite, she'll make a sad face and shake her head before you even ask for it.

    @ tom that's the same response Fred's wife gives him everynight.

    @adamprato - Happened to a friend of mine. He ate at the 53rd and 6th cart for lunch so often, to the point that the vendor became genuinely concerned for his health.

  9. The guy who operates the Daisy May BBQ cart shakes his head in disappointment when you pass by with a bag of food from the giant sombrero cart.

    9) When you're about 3 or more people deep on the line and by the time you get up front to order, your chicken and rice platter with extra hot sauce, is bagged and ready to go and he's collecting the money from you.

    10) You turn down a chance to try new foods at one of the rare street fairs that come downtown, (they even had SWEET ROASTED CORN!!!!!!!! On a cob! Still ticked I didn't get one...) since you don't want to let your regular Halal cart guy down ... yes, a friend of mine did this! Looking at you, Columbia Terror :)

    11) They always bless you with Extra White-Extra Hot sauce with out even asking.

  13. 12) They don't have change for a $20 so they give you your food for free and pipe "Ahh you'll be back"
