Food carts can be hazardous to your health. Especially when they burst into flames—as this poor Rafiqi's cart did earlier this morning!
A Gothamist tipster sent us the above shot, which was taken about 8:40 a.m. on First Avenue and 27th Street. According to the FDNY, the fire was reported moments before that, and our source confirms firefighters were on the scene within minutes. Luckily, no injuries were reported. But we predict there are going to be some disappointed street meat fans in the area today.
