HUNTER COLLEGE– When Bart Halibart, a biochemistry major, stopped by campus this past June, a worker at the Hunter Halal Food cart gifted him a free meal. “He didn’t give a reason. He just smiled at me and said, ‘Here you go, free food for you,’’’ said Halibart.
A small interaction from months ago, and yet this small act of kindness remains fresh in his memories. This connection is one a lot of students can relate to. The men who work on the halal carts around Hunter College have been providing friendly smiles and warm meals for decades.
