Soho residents are once again mad as heck about the proliferation of street vendors in their 'hood, from Broadway's food pushcarts to accessories sellers. Community Board 2 and City Council members have taken up the cause, trying to oust the snack carts with hygiene violations and proposing solutions for the overcrowding like a lottery or limited assigned spaces demarcated in paint on the ground. Opponents to the plan blame the area's congested sidewalks on the one common enemy all New Yorkers share: tourists. [Crain's; photo via Jason Kuffer/Curbed Photo Pool]
