A line regularly forms at the corner of 44th and 6th, described as "a testament to its popularity and a signal that the food is worth the brief wait" (viningwatermelonday.com). The setup stays simple and exposed -- a stainless steel cart with a flat-top running continuously -- and the queue is reported to "form and disappear in cycles" (viningwatermelonday.com) rather than holding a constant backup.
The cart's corner has been operating since 2005, positioned directly in the path of dense Midtown foot traffic near the Bryant Park subway complex (viningwatermelonday.com), which sustains the recurring line pattern through the day rather than a single peak rush.
