Sidewalk Entrepreneur

A person who operates a business on city sidewalks that is based on collecting money from passers-by, generally by means of shouting, verbal intimidation or performing outrageous stunts.

The sidewalk entrepreneur typically lives on the streets, however, they differ from their homeless counterparts commonly in that they do not beg or intentionally show weakness in an effort to collect money from others.

I was having dinner with my friend on the patio of that new steakhouse downtown and we watched sidewalk entrepreneurs try to earn money the whole evening.
