Hot dog heartache has come to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the Parks Department on Friday evicted a weiner vendor who couldn’t pay his $53,558 monthly rent.
The frankfurter failure is Pasang Sherpa, 51, of Long Island City, who agreed late last year to pay almost $643,000 annually for the right to sell food and drinks from carts on either side of the iconic steps.
“I’m going crazy,” said Sherpa, who had fallen $310,000 behind on rent. “I don’t know what to do now.”
“The vendor outside the Met Museum was not paying the rent, so he was evicted from the spot,” said Parks spokesman Phil Abramson.
Perhaps if he provided bacon he could make rent?
