Midtown Lunch

Today’s New York Times has an op-ed I wrote about the current food truck crack down happening in Midtown Manhattan. Much of it is not applicable to Los Angeles, but it is interesting to note the similarities in how traditional street food vendors (like loncheros and halal trucks) have managed to exist for years despite a hostile civic climate, and how the newer food trucks have clearly thrown a bit of a wrench into the balance of things.
