NIAGARA FALLS — In the tiny kitchen inside her food cart, Selina Afroj and her two sons, 16-year-old Amanul and 15-year-old Adib, take orders from customers and give each other directions.
The smells of lamb on the grill and deep-fried falafel practically pour from the little yellow food cart, though the sun is unforgiving and everyone’s sweating.
It’s a busy Friday afternoon in late June on Old Falls Street, where Street Cart Cafe and Halal Food is parked no more than a five-minute walk from Niagara Falls State Park in New York.
The park’s visitors, tourists and the travelers alike, keep asking Afroj the same question – and it’s not about her Middle Eastern food.
“They’re asking when the border opens,” Afroj says, laughing, “and I’m like, ‘I don’t know!'”
Her son Adib chimes in, “They’re happy to visit, but at the same time sad because they can’t cross.”
