Street vendors in the Bronx say they're being hit with more tickets and fines than they can count, and they're now calling on the city to make a change.

Over 100 street vendors protested outside City Hall on Thursday, decrying recent crackdowns on unlicensed street vendors in Queens and the Bronx.

Ever wanted to have your favorite street vendor at your birthday or holiday party? Street Vendor Project on Tuesday announced its new program to making vendors from halal food to portrait artists available for hire at events across the city.

The City Council’s bid to significantly loosen restrictions on street vending is sure to face pushback from storeowners who fear it will hurt their bottom lines. But the city’s economy would get a modest boost if the legislation comes to pass, according to a new analysis.

The rally calls for an end to what vendors call outdated and arbitrary laws that leave them paying thousands for underground, resold permits or left to fight fines that cost $1,000 per offense, organizers said.
