The FIFA World Cup matches here in New York and New Jersey have meant big business for restaurants, pubs, and transportation networks. Prices have skyrocketed, with a return train journey from New York to East Rutherford Stadium costing over 98 USD currently — compared to just 12.50 USD normally. Buses, taxis and even intercity air travel has become costlier.

Faizullah Mohammed, originally from Hyderabad, India, manages the self-serve dessert chain 16 Handles at the bustling Hoboken Waterfront in New Jersey. Located on the banks of the Hudson River, a popular tourist destination and premier spot to view the Midtown Manhattan skyline and host major events, it should be minting money, but that’s not the case.
