During last week’s NYC snowstorm, an entrepreneur set up shop in Times Square, selling snowballs for $1/pop.
The young man was Gilberto Triplitt, a 28-year-old unemployed artist from Queens who attended LaGuardia High School and worked in a furniture store until it closed in the post-Sept. 11 downturn. He went into the snowball business Monday afternoon on Prince St. in SoHo. He reported selling six in 2-1/2 hours.
“It’s really easy to sell them,” he said, to a reporter’s surprise.
