The same man recently tried to sell him hash in front of The Palace on Brunswick Street, Romano says. He says the man has pushers on the street now, ‘‘little rats from prison, just out of prison.”

Craig Peters, owner of the Fry Factory mobile canteen, also says LSD and hash have been sold from some hot dog carts in front of the Misty Moon.
