No street vendor would be surprised to learn that subway musicians are being targeted in an NYPD ticket blitz — there are just too many similarities between the two groups. We missed the AMNY story last month, but our friends at City Lore are on it. They also wrote a great legal guide for subway musicians a few years ago. Maybe we need a subway musician committee at SVP?

Subway musicians are NOT vendors. They essencially give their music performance for FREE to the public. If anybody wants to give them donations, that’s very greatfully accepted, but no one HAS to give them money in order to enjoy their offering – therefore, they are not vendors.
Well, ok Michelle. We never said that subway musicians are vendors, only that the two groups have similar problems and can work together. Thanks for your comment.
