But commuting for hours every day at jobs I didn’t love prevented me from seeing the very people I was doing it for: my family. So I decided to become my own boss. I began selling tamales door- to- door six days a week, sometimes going to bed around 2. AM and waking up at 4. AM to continue preparing for the upcoming day. It was hard, but becoming a small business owner let me pick my hours; so the minute that bell rang and my kids were out of school, I could be around them. Now, I can vend just on the weekends because I have loyal customers who keep coming back for my authentic soft tamales.

And there’s a lottery to get on the wait list, and there are over 2,0. New York City should be the heart in the land of opportunity, but instead, these caps limit opportunity for thousands every year. In October, legislation that would increase the number of available permits was introduced to the New York City Council’s Committee on Consumer Affairs. If the Committee votes to lift the caps, thousands of local New York City vendors will finally be able to own and operate their businesses.
