How many more hot dogs can a vendor outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art sell at the north side of the museum entrance, as opposed to the south side? First-time vendor Pasang Sherpa is betting he can unload at least $81,701 more lips and assholes, because he's coughing up that much extra for the north location, even though the southern spot is only 100 yards away. Sherpa paid $362,201 to the Parks Department for rights to vend at the north side and $280,500 for the south, but now he's fuming because the more heavily-trafficked north entrance has been blocked by construction won't be done until May. "I don't want to pay them now," he tells a Post reporter, who theorizes that this might be the most expensive retail space per square foot in all the land.

I was just at the museum on Sunday and yeah, the north end is fucked because of construction. All the action's on the south side of the stairs. But the tourist sure seemed hungry for $3 hot dogs.

But will they be hungry for $7 hot dogs?
Stay classy, John.
north end is more likely to have people coming entering and exiting by way of 86th street. makes sense
Yipes that's $30,000 a month just for that permit.
And I though they could just wheel those carts anywhere they wanted.
They must make bank on tourists unwilling to walk one more block to save 30% on their hot dog indulgences.
Yeah, but the tourists don't know about that. At 96th and CPW in the summer you can get a $2 hot dog next to the park or go across the street and get one for $1.25. And the guys across the street loads up the sauerkraut and onions.
It it absolutely dumbfounding that someone pays this much money for a 2x2 spot of sidewalk to sell hot dogs. Absolutely rediculous, no wonder we live paycheck to paycheck.
Parks Dept. = greedy bastards
