  • You sell newspapers, periodicals, books, pamphlets, or other written matter.
  • You sell artwork, including paintings, photographs, prints, and sculptures.
  • You sell food. Note: Food vending requires a license from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
  • You will only sell merchandise from a booth or stand at an authorized Street Fair (e.g., street fair, block party, or festival). Please note that you must obtain a Temporary Street Fair Vendor Permit to sell merchandise at an authorized Street Fair.

I'm going to guess he's one of the three, so like I say . . . . A bad business move if true.
Did you read what you posted? Read the Note part. You need a licence, I was incorrect in calling it a business licence.

Food vendors can't simply setup shop wherever they please, that's simply not how it works. But please, tell me how it works from your vast experience with NYC. It's not like I've lived here for the past 4 years or anything.
