35. Selling in Times Square is generally illegal if you are not a vet

I cannot imagine that anyone that is not out there everyday would have the license. Without the license, it could easily cost more in fines than you could make.

"The Department of Consumer Affairs licenses street vendors.

You must have a General Street Vendor License to sell or lease goods or services in a public space. This license is mainly for veterans. The number of licenses given to non-veterans is very limited.

You must have a General Street Vendor Distributor License to transport goods to a public space in order to sell them to a general street vendor.

A license is not required to sell newspapers, books, and similar items, but related rules and regulations still apply."
