As hot chicken trend spices up NJ here’s when a new one opens
I can’t think of a food trend I’ve felt less invited to. The hot chicken phenomenon that has overtaken New Jersey and caused lines out doors is something I wish I had a front row seat to. Unfortunately I’m one of those people cursed with taste buds that...
NYC’s ‘Hot Dog King’ and disabled Vietnam vet has cart shut down again, claims city out to get him
The city’s “Hot Dog King’’ has been banned from peddling franks from his sidewalk cart because he allegedly lacks the proper permit — but he says it’s just part of a nonsense campaign to harass him out of business. Beloved Manhattan street vendor Dan Rossi, 73, was ordered to close up his cart outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 23 after a city Department of Health inspector cited him for selling without the Disabled Veteran Vendor permit required for that location. But Rossi, a disabled veteran of the Vietnam War, told The Post he’s had that permit for decades — and...
NYC grocers gripe over fruit vendors so close to their stores: ‘Pick off our customers’

3 falcon chicks hatch atop the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in New York City
NEW YORK (AP) — Three peregrine falcon chicks have hatched in a nest built at the top of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in New York City, officials said. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority Bridges and Tunnels said Friday that the chicks hatched in a nesting box set up by the agency atop a 693-foot-tall (211-meter-tall) tower on the bridge, which connects Brooklyn and Staten Island. Officials check on the nest each year around the end of May to put identifying bands on the falcon chicks to help keep track of how many peregrines are in the city and to identify them if they get sick. The three chicks were banded Friday and are about three weeks old, according to a statement.
