The Wienerwurst Man of the Night Trade
A Globe Democrat feature profiles the Wienerwurst man a nocturnal German vendor of a hot sausage sandwich. He roams dark streets with a steaming can and basket shouting hot veeny and other cries, selling a rough yet beloved treat to revelers who rarely pay. His stock costs for a night low while profits are slim, and danger from theft or explosion lurks as police provide reluctant aid. He works unseen by day sleeping until night and earns courage from narrow traffic and late hours.
