Mango Ladies - $

All over the city, you'll find women selling bags of sliced mango on the street. Yeah, it looks suspicious. And yeah, you're in the middle of Soho and you don't necessarily want to be buying bagged mango from a woman selling them off of a little grocery cart on the sidewalk. But you won't regret it; this is well worth overcoming the awkwardness.

These bags usually go for about $3 and are filled with fresh, ripe, yellow mango. You can buy each bag and season it as you like- from salt to chili powder to lemon juice.

I opted for the chili powder and the marriage of the sweet with the spicy is perfection (and how mango is popularly consumed in Latin America and South East Asia).

Go for it. It's about the healthiest street food you can find these days anyway...
