    One street-food post leads to another. Late last month, the Dosa Man (Thiru Kumar) won the Vendy Awards, which recognise the best street-food vendor in New York. Mr Kumar sells Sri Lankan-style dosas in Washington Square Park (take that, Henry James, you vast, sallow old bigot!). Mr Kumar's food is the only one of the five finalists for which I can personally vouch, and I rate it quite highly. The range of foods on offer among the five (do check out the short video of all five finalists) is inspiring. New York is not quite Singapore, but it's come a long way from hot dogs and pretzels.
