10 new pushcart contracts in and around Central Park went up for auction yesterday, and as usual, vendors paid exorbitant rates for them. They range from "a low of $7,350 a year for the Central Park side of Fifth Avenue between East 97th and East 98th streets, to an eye-popping $176,925 for the right to hawk snacks and sodas at the northwest corner of East 60th Street and Fifth Avenue."
