With mustard and sauerkraut, please
I like this (except for the Downtown Miami umbrellas, they should be Sabrett). It adds some color and life to the streets and it's almost like the breakfast cart idea I have talked about before. This one particular cart was set up during the Arts Festival this past weekend. I don't even know if she was there legally, but I did think it was a good idea.
I find it different than the roach coaches in that they are stationary, licensed and don't drive from business to business scooping up their customers.

ehh, it's pretty ghetto, and kind of the same thing as the roach coach. Also, to my understanding not legal in the grove.
A cart selling cut flowers, another one or two selling coffee, would add to the ambiance, don't you think?
Ghetto?!
Dude get over it. You probably think Basil is "ghetto" too. Thats fine by me. I used to work in downtown and miss being able to get ANYTHING I wanted to eat within five minutes. So what you think the West Grove is "ghetto" too....or maybe the house around coral way.
Seriously, that type of thinking can leave a very bitter taste in a lot of people's mouths
When I lived in Wilmington, DE, years ago, there was a woman who had a hot dog cart only open during the summer at the corner in front of the courthouse. She earned $50,000 a year on the sales from that cart. People stood in line to buy hot dogs from her and then sat outside and ate them for lunch on days when the weather was nice. It was a faster and lower priced alternative to a restaurant lunch.
I like the hot dog cart. Sometimes I go to the one next to the funeral home on Grand Ave. And by the way, some areas in the West Grove are pretty ghetto, don't try to deny it, I live there!
Isnt this woman "stealing" the same business that the "roach coach" lady is? Seems a bit hypocritical to bash one and praise the other, doncha think?
Guess you didn't read the whole thing for my reasoning on this.
They need one of these stands at City Hall during long Commission hearings and board meetings; that vending machine inside gets a real workout. The people at City Hall need a quick fix, service takes forever at Scotty's and Fresh Market isn't close enough.
They eat and talk enough garbage at City Hall already, trust me, I've visited long enough this year. You're better off eating healthy foods from the Fresh market or wherever.
About Scotty's, they don't pride themselves with anything other than good Bay views and cold beer. Nothing fancy. Decent prices, music, nice simple women, (sometimes) dogs allowed (even me), you name it. I love that place.

What is that cab doing in your photo? Is he making a U turn, driving on the wrong side of the road or just blocking traffic?
Put this in the Grove now...
Six months from now there will be guys selling luggage on the street
And I dont even live in the grove, just feel bad for you
(this is the same exact idea as the roach truck)
These carts are on almost every corner in Manhattan. There have been articles in the NYT about which carts have better food, grilled, hot dogs, roasted nuts...I can't call that "ghetto." What you can say is that it's urban. Urbane, even!
Ok, raise your hand if you want the grove to be anything like manhattan.
*looks around *
Didn't think so. That's not really what we're going for here. We're trying to be an alternative from the urban/downtown/brickell atmosphere. Have you noticed the lack highrises and large number of parks. It's the last neighborhood in Miami, and I don't think this fits, but that's just one guys opinion.
