Description
Don't know about you, but when I think of a sidewalk hot dog stand I tend to think of a guy with not much more than a big pushcart.
Not in New York. This is what you get in Manhattan when you are talking Hot Dog stands... virtually a portable restaurant. Seeing this, my previous story of how Shake Shack came to be from some guy putting in three years with a hot dog stand makes a lot more sense.
This guy's turf is behind the American Museum of Natural History and he looked to be doing a good business.
For those who asked about what the heck the Shake Shack concretes are: they are frozen custards mixed with whatever you want thrown in (e.g. fruit) and blended at high speed.

same way in Dallas but there are some smaller vendors with large carts
Love the effect, great shot
Street food...goooooood.... YUM! --with Richardphotos...in Austin, it's VERY trendy to buy street food (especially cupcakes). Most people sell out of those old "silver-twinkie" trailers from the 50's & they have "trailer parks" that are literally only for these "silver-twinkie" vendors...
Great capture of a timeless tradition, found all over the world
What a great shot. The culture that must go by that stand, being at a museum. That's quite a menu. I like the brightened coloring, its like a carnival.
Yeeesh and WOW!! Great capture and the post-work is dazzling!!
Love the post work on this image. Ya, lots of these mobile hotdog places.
Shake Shack concretes lol bet if you ask to throw in a hot dog they do it. do not know how that would taste lol
now this makes me hungry. but now i come to think this food looks like it prooduces quite an amount of farts,is that not bad for environment?? considering they chase smokers around , the smoke from behind might be worse heheheh
Mmmmmm, all so bad for you, but so tasty. The jumbo pretzel and Philly Cheesesteak look good. Great postwork Roxy and a wonderful capture of life in New York!
Nice shot and the vivid colors give a lot of life to this street view!
It's like looking at a flea market stand, stuff to be seen everywhere! Nice work!
Awesome shot!
so if I ordered a Shake Shack concretes with a jimmy hoffa, what would it taste like? lol
Great and colorful capture now your making me want one at 1am in the morning LOL Hugs Susan~
Imagine what they pay to get their location. One just can't set up w/o paying the price.. Oh no...Mikeerson..once again lol...
Really great work!
Fantastic capture Roxy, and your point is well made about how this is in reality a restaurant on wheels :)
Great follow up image Roxy!
I never saw such a big hot dog cart before. Not where I live.
An outstanding candid capture!!
Never been to NY (yet), but I understand you just haven't lived until you've had a dog from one of these stands.... Wonderful photo, Roxy!
Chicago is known for its pizza and New York is known for a lot more than pizza! We don't have hot dog stands here. Well, we had them at one time, but they were never New York style hot dog stands. It's hilarious, because we have Chicago-style hotdogs; and you can go to a "hot dog stand" and get them, but the "stands" in question are big enough for a sit-down restaurant to fit inside, only you don't sit down in them. I rather miss the pushcart experience and it's something that I'll always associate with New York. New York and Chicago are such different cities, and I get the feeling that New York is the more authentic one. Well, it is older than Chicago. I've noticed that this is now more of a multi-national "pull-cart" and it has wheels on it, so it's definitely New York style: only now, you need a truck to pull it. I think that's what they call "progress." It's STILL a pushcart, but now they offer multi-ethnic food choices, and (as progress always dictates) "push" now means "hook it up to your truck and drag it." I love the colors and the people-focus of this shot. There are so many fragments in this as well, and they all work together, like a mosaic, giving you a kind of fractal view of New York. No, you can't see the whole city, but you can see a kind of smaller-scale "fractal" version of it. And if you zoom back, you'll see the same things: just more of them. I like the way that works in this shot, and this is a gorgeous piece of photography! Fell free to post zillions more.
This is a nice companion piece to the Shake Shack & I think I actually like it a little better as you can really see these people as distinct individuals. The play of light & shadow on the folds & creases of their clothes is particularly appealing & very effectively augmented by your postwork. I remember the simple Sabrett's hot dog carts from my youth, which had distinctive yellow & blue umbrellas like this.
Great capture and work, Roxy!! :o)
