Collect 10,000 Menus, Get $20,000
If you knew each take-out menu you kept was worth $2, would you collect 10,000 of them like Daniel Rayas did for allmenus.com? Newsday profiles Rayas and his rise as a menu collecting master while scouring the streets of New York City and beyond. He's picked up a lot after four months of menu hunting, such as the best way to repair his worn-off shoe soles (cement), what the most common restaurant name is ("Great Wall"), and that Jamaicans don't believe in printed menus. Oh, and $20,000 for all the menus that he has collected, which allow him to live in the city and take care of his granddaughter.
Europe may be his next menu-collecting destination. If only he had a blog or, better yet, a film crew to document his foot-powered travels.
