Before the gourmet food truck era, New York City's streets were lined with pushcarts run largely by immigrants offering blintzes, sausages, and other specialties. Mobile dining dates back to the 1600s, and the city introduced its first food cart regulations as early as 1691. Untapped New York traces that long history through a remarkable collection of vintage photos from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Sardi's is a Times Square treasure with a rich pop cultural history. If you find yourself in the area, fall by and pop upstairs for a drink, and when you do, be sure to check out the classic signs above the restrooms. #nyc #vintagenyc #timessquare
