New York City To Issue New Permits For Its Popular Food Cart Vendors, First Time In 50 Years To Increase Cart Licenses
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 25: A food vending cart sits along a street in lower Manhattan on August 25, 2026 in New York City. A new City Council law set to take effect in October will distribute 21,500 legal permits to vendors, many of whom have been paying to rent permits from other owners. When the permits are distributed, it will become the largest expansion of the city’s license cap in five decades. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
