Sun, no gas please.
MOVE systems plans on
releasing 500 new solar-powered "street food" carts into the wilds of New York City this summer.
The city grants 2,800 year-round permits, 1,000 seasonal permits, 200 borough-specific permits, and 1,000 fruit and vegetable permits a year, and there's a long waiting list, so these new carts will likely go to established vendors who have signed up to trade in their carts. The first carts should roll out after Memorial Day.
From the
MOVE systems website:
The current standard in the food cart industry is a cramped, antiquated metal box which uses propane tanks, a dangerous source for cooking fuel in urban environments. Our revolutionary, 21st century cart includes cutting edge technology, refrigeration, more work space, a cheaper and safer fuel source, and novel revenue opportunities for the mobile food vendor.
I will be visiting family and friends in New York this summer. I want some solar-powered street meat!
