It's been a rough year for Michael Azeez, a Mohawk man who is probably the only Native American street food vendor in New York City.
Azeez wanted to sell traditional Mohawk food but the city said no. Then he was forced to move his stand, called From Atlantis With Love, from a high-traffic location in downtown Manhattan.
He is now contemplating another move now that a popular rock club nearby is closing down. But he's not upset. “It’s about destiny,” he tells Tee New York Times. “Whatever happens, we’re not in control.”
