Video: New York On The Clock

Thirteen's new series profiling New Yorkers released a new video this week, this time traveling to 33rd and 9th to visit Carlos Sarabia's coffee cart. They say he "emigrated from Jalisco, Mexico to the United States, bringing his mother's breakfast torta recipe with him." He works from Mondays through Friday, starting at sun up — and says he'd like to own his own cafe, where he wouldn't have to confront the harsh weather in the winter.

There's a coffee cart man who has declared (via a sign on his cart) that he will not serve coffee to those reporting on the Lehman Brothers (ahem, WSJ). Now Dealbreaker has gone to the caffeine source, named Leon, to get the real deal on his declaration of solidarity. The coffee purveyor told them, "When they suffer I suffer," and that he "thinks the bankruptcy filing 'sucks, but what can you do?'" He also noted that "it's probably going to get worse," and said there were specific reporters he will continue to refuse to serve. There's also an aw-factor in the story, however, as the website gave him "a few hundred" dollars.
