I saw in the NYTimes today that Giuliani plans to eliminate the street
vendors from most of Manhattan. How far can this guy go before he will
finally lose popularity among new yorkers. These people obviously cause
none of that ills that some of the reckless cab drivers, and they are one
of the main symbols of the city that tourists come for along with
broadway, central park, the yankees etc. When I was there once, I noticed
how you can buy coffee and a dessert in manhattan cafes for about $12, or
coffee and a bagel outside for $1.
