ABOUT
SVP
This spring, hit the streets and support our city’s smallest businesses by joining the Street Vendor Scavenger Quest!
The Street Vendor Scavenger Quest is an annual citywide adventure in which New Yorkers sign up to complete fun challenges while meeting the street vendors who make our city unique, trying new foods, and competing to win prizes–all while supporting NYC’s only street vendor organization!
The Street Vendor Scavenger Quest is a fundraiser supporting the Street Vendor Project (SVP), a membership-based organization of over 3,000 street vendors working together to defend the rights and improve the working conditions of the 23,000 people who sell food and merchandise on the streets of NYC. All registration fees and donations will go directly to funding language justice at our bimonthly membership meetings, which are simultaneously translated into 7 languages. Learn more about SVP.
HOW TO PLAY
Our 2025 Street Vendor Scavenger Quest will be live from Saturday April 5th – Friday April 25th.
To play, you’ll form a team with friends, family, or co-workers.
Registered teams will then gain access to a mobile app, unlocking ‘missions’ that you must complete by answering street food trivia, hitting the streets to meet vendors and try their wares, and more!
Once you’ve completed the ‘mission,’ teams will upload photos to the app, gaining points for each mission they complete. Teams also earn points for every donation they raise towards SVP’s translation fund!
When the game closes on Friday April 25th, look out for the tallied results and awards, or join us at our closing ceremony on Sunday April 27 to meet your fellow players and collect your prizes in person!

We encourage all players to donate $25 or more if possible, to support the work of the Street Vendor Project and gain points for your team! All registration fees and donations will go directly to funding language justice, as our bimonthly membership meetings are simultaneously translated into 6 languages.
