Each morning one of Manhattan's more colorful produce trucks makes its way to the Upper West Side from North Bergen, New Jersey (previously Paterson, as still shown on the side panel). Hardly an easy commute, but just a hop and a step when measured against the journey from Chechnya, the Turkish proprietor's previous home.
The selection of produce offers nothing so exotic. But budget-minded street-food fans, please note: As dessert or snack, the banana provides its own biodegradable "packaging" and doesn't need to be washed; just peel and eat. Though on the street I've seen bananas priced as dear as 35 cents apiece, here they're four for a dollar.
