Even in hard times, New York City being a port town, was always privy to fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, meat etc. Back in the day an inexpensive fresh piece of fruit was always a good healthy snack.
Despite supermarkets and groceries many fruit carts still
operate thoughtout the city.
The quick availability of a sidewalk purchase is always a plus for
busy New Yorkers.
The above beauty is located at 53rd and Lex.
