"PROSPECT PARK - BUNDLED-UP FAMILIES turned Prospect Park into a snow-day playground as Winter Storm Fern dumped up to a foot of snow across the borough. Among the sledders and skiers, two 13-year-olds seized the moment, selling $3 cups of hot chocolate to chilly parkgoers after snow halted their usual stoop-shoveling business, according to the New York Post. Friends Aaron Rappaport and Teo Driscoll set up shop near a popular sledding hill, shouting sales pitches and even taking Venmo as families crowded the park."

"We have five orders for stoops already, but we can't start shoveling until the snow slows down a bit, so we figured we could do this while we waited," Rappaport told the Post."
Winter Storm Fern dumped up to a foot of snow across the borough, turning Prospect Park into a snow-day playground for bundled-up families, sledders and skiers. Two 13-year-olds, Aaron Rappaport and Teo Driscoll, pivoted from stoop-shoveling to selling $3 cups of hot chocolate to chilly parkgoers when heavy snowfall delayed their normal jobs. The friends set up near a popular sledding hill, shouted sales pitches and accepted Venmo as families crowded the park. They already had stoop-shoveling orders queued but waited until the snow slowed, using the opportunity to sell hot chocolate in the meantime.
