NYC Food and Coronavirus: How Produce Street Vendors Serve Food Swamps | Eater NY
"At the Hunts Point Terminal Produce Market in the Bronx I drive there at night with my 21-year-old granddaughter to reload, working from about 7 p.m. until 3 a.m., moving boxes and building pallets by hand inside near-freezing refrigerated warehouses as we buy each vendor’s specialty — for example, I’ve taken 30 cases of mangoes, three cases of particularly pretty cucumbers, and 18 cases of organic bananas — then have a truck pick up the pallets in the early morning before I sleep for a few hours and head back out to sell." - Gary He
