Its pretty common in more tourist areas for food stands to charge pretty high prices. It's worth noting that all of the stand prices are "negotiable", I usually am able to knock a few bucks off.

I would take it as a lesson learned - don't buy things from stands in tourist areas.

I mean, even in Midtown Manhattan (packed with tourists) the prices are usually not that high. A chicken and rice plate goes for about 10 dollars there, and hot dogs much less.

They’re legally allowed to charge however high a price they want. Not legally allowed to negotiate. Prices must be posted and adhered to. That being said I refuse to pay more than $1 for a small Poland spring
