Defendant was convicted of unlicensed general vending, in violation of section 20-453 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, for selling T-shirts in Union Square Park without a vendor's license. He argues that his conviction should be vacated because the vending of T-shirts containing artistic images was constitutionally protected expression.
