THE 2006 VENDY AWARDS!!!!!

Yes that's right ladies and gentlemen last Sunday October 22nd was the second annual Vendy Awards!! (organized by the Street Vendor Project: http://www.streetvendor.org) This spectacular event took street vendors from around the great city of New York and put them into one central location to determine the best street cart in all the land. And of course you trusty IHeartCarts Team was there to cover the event.

Over 36 carts made the 2006 nominee list but only four were chosen as finalists in this Iron Chef style competition. The event took place in the courtyard of St. Mark's Church in the Bowery on Tenth street and Second ave. There were several hundred patrons on hand to sample from the four finalists as well as a panel of nine judges to determine the winner. The IHeartCarts Team was only able to sample from three of these carts due to an incredable demand at one cart that had to close early. We will be posting our reviews of the carts we were able to sample and more about the event throughout the week. (There's a lot of pictures and news to report!!!)

As alwasy please share your thoughts about the Vendy's or the finalists!!!
