I also went running at Central Park every 2nd day for nearly 2 weeks; I did not see any $1 hot dogs. The cheapest I saw on the UES was $3.50 on a Saturday. This was a month ago.

I already did think about all of that, but I decided to NOT calculate that just to keep it simple.

Thanks for coming out though. You're the man now, dog.
HOT dog. HA!

They probably don't have the capital to win bids for location rights.

i wonder how much Japadog's stand cost

he won the bid, knowing he could never make the payments, reaped the rewards of having an ideal location to sell hotdogs to tourists and generated as much business that he could before the city caught on to his scam. according to the numbers, he was there for around 5 months... which isn't too outrageous.

The owner of those carts was there a lot longer than that.
