Fruit, vegetable carts to roll out in New York's Central Park

Excerpts from a 3/10/10 article in The Packer by Tom Burfield

Starting in April, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation will allow produce carts with fresh fruits and vegetables to set up around Central Park, where hot dog and pretzel vendors have long pedaled their wares.

The program is part of the Green Cart Campaign, which was introduced to promote more healthful eating citywide. The carts will offer competitively priced produce, including "three bananas for just a buck, half-pound boxes of strawberries for $2 and mangos for $1.50." For NYC, those prices are pretty good.
