I’m posting about the 100% Halal and Healthy Cart because it is different from the hundreds of street meat carts around the city. Aside from chicken and rice, the menu offers Ceaser salad and Greek salads with or without chicken as well as well as tuna salad, wraps, shrimp over rice and falafels. I’ve read [...]

The El Rey Del Sabor cart is a cart that I knew I wanted to succeed the first time I ate there when it opened up about year and a half ago. Mainly because if you work or live in the east 50′s your only other real option to get authentic tacos is from Pampano Taqueria [...]

With so many street meat and rice carts in the city I’ve been trying for the sake of the blog at least to only review ones that I feel stand out. The Trini Pak Boy’s cart does just that and delivers something different in a big way First off, the cart’s been around for over [...]

I love the Kwik Meal Cart on 45th and 6th and to prove it you can check out the post I did on it here. I’m sure it helps that the owner and head chef of the cart, Muhammed Rahman, cut his knuckles at the Rainbow Room but regardless of where Muhammed used to cook [...]

Since my department moved to 59th street, Tony D’s cart has become the office favorite. The staff seems to favor the steak, lamb and chicken platters and for whatever reason nobody’s tried their slamming burgers yet but I did convince one person to try the prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich. Don’t sleep on the grilled chicken sandwich [...]

The Hallo Berlin cart might be the most unusual cart to grace the streets of Midtown Manhattan. While it’s not uncommon to find Middle Eastern and Indian food carts, hot dog stands, even carts or trucks that make burgers, pizza and pasta finding a cart that makes German “soul food” is a difficult task. The [...]

There’s not a lot to say about the taco truck that usually sits on 18th street and 6th Avenue with “The Brothers L&C Latin Fast Food Truck” painted on the side. You’ll actually have to look pretty hard for the Mexican food listing and if you didn’t know better than you might think the truck only [...]

Last post I showed you what a burger from Tony D’s cart looks like, today I’m showing off the chicken. For $6.50 you can either get chicken with rice or salad or both. I’ve been trying to cut down on carbs recently so I order the chicken over salad with white sauce and dressing. It’s [...]

As you probably know, I work in the financial district and am always looking for new and interesting places to eat. Musthafa’s cart (which used to have an electronic sign displaying “Zak’s”, there is no sign now) has recently gotten a lot of press. This is evident by the line you see above at 2pm [...]

Kwik Meal is by no means your average, run of the mill, midtown street cart serving up halal meat and rice and the cart’s owner and chef, Mohammed Rahman is by no means your average cart chef. Rahman, a Bangladeshi immigrant cut his teeth as a chef at the once vaunted Rainbow Room and his [...]
