The New York Hot Dog King: From Rags to Riches to Less Than Rags

Thirty years ago, life was good for Dan Rossi, the “Pushcart King” who was living the American Dream. Today, the quintessential New Yorker sleeps in his van in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York. He sells hot dogs and is known as “The New York Hot Dog King.” This compelling memoir is about one man who stood alone against Donald J. Trump and Rudy Giuliani to defend the rights of disabled veterans in a city that lost its moral compass. Learn how Dan Rossi, an ordinary man who grew up in a poor Bronx neighborhood refused to cross the line into the world of destruction and vengeance and went from rags to riches to less than rags in a battle of character and honor.
