This history of the pushcart is deeply intertwined with the history of the city. As each immigrant group settled in New York City, street vending was how they first engaged with capitalism. 

Pushcart Bandits is a sculpture and working souvenir stand covered in data about street vending in New York City. It takes inspiration from the pushcarts of yesteryear and the format of the modern pushcart - the Amazon delivery handtruck.
