Ragamuffins use jointed rods and pull claws to grab change near Grand Central, 14th Street, and Brooklyn Bridge, with some earning about two dollars daily. Reports note itinerant vendors, rented dogs and wheelchairs, a Canal Street hotel hub for mendicants, and a mid day barber shave option at a Turkish bath.
