Busiest hours are between recess and early evening.
Several seemingly interchangeable carts can be found in Manhattan's Chinatown, selling their sole item at 15 or, as here, 20 to the dollar. Generally there's not much to these walnut-sized pockets of griddled batter, though at this cart, according to Gothamist, the mini cakes are "flavored with a hint of orange juice." I can believe it; spring for a bagful, close your eyes, and see if you can taste it, too.

I love these! I have to visit the guy on 8th Avenue in Brooklyn again. Mmmmmm.
