Here in Astoria, the King (of Falafel) sits on his throne at 30th Street and Broadway. And by God, does this man deserve his throne. After all, he’s the 2010 Winner of the Vendy Awards, so you know that means he’s a top food truck. The King of Falafel and Shawarma is my go-to [...] Congratulations, Gorilla Cheese NYC. You win the most disappointing meal I’ve had in 2011. Gorilla Cheese is a new grilled cheese truck that launched a few weeks back. When it parked outside my office the other day, I quickly saved the lunch I brought in for the next day, and headed to the truck [...] After a night at Brooklyn Bowl, I smelled tacos on the walk back to the L, and immediately informed my friend Tim that if we found a taco truck, we had to stop.

On paper this sounds like a great idea – a fantastic restaurant offering its food at the street cart level for a quick lunch – but unfortunately it doesn’t [...] Guest Post by Doug Feingold, Columbia Correspondent In my opinion, soup is an enigma. Is it a meal, or simply an appetizer? If it has chicken, beef or other hearty components, do you need less of it to fill you up? Why is it that a 12 cent pack of ramen is just as [...] Months ago, I wrote about street cart dining and if they were classy or trashy. Unfortunately, the street cart I was in love with on the SW corner of 31st and Park has since disappeared. We’re not sure if it’s the economy or weather that scared my falafel man away, but he certainly has [...] Since starting my job in NYC, I’ve been tempted with the smell of Rafiqui’s Street Cart. Even the smell of gyros at 8:55 a.m. could send my stomach into an instant growl. However, for one reason or another, when grabbing a bite to eat I found myself heading over to an establishment that had [...] |
