After being buried in tickets, a judge ruled today that disabled vets can sell hot dogs outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Park rangers wrongly gave the vets hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines by mistakenly applying a 1998 state law, said Supreme Court Judge Joan Lobis.
The law governs goods and not food, she says in her decision.
“They’ve been harassing us every day for so long,” said Dan Rossi, 63, a vendor from the Bronx.
“In fact, we got two tickets today.”
Elizabeth Rossi, Dan’s daughter, brought the suit against the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation after she was issued two tickets for refusing to move her pushcart.
