New York Street Food

I wasn’t sure what to have for lunch today, so I strolled up 6th Ave in the 40′s to see if there was anything new on the scene.  On 44th St just west of 6th Ave was My Biryani cart, which I’ve been to a couple of times before, and next to them was a new cart called Royal Grill that had a few people in line and looked tempting.

I almost went to the new Royal Grill cart, but then I saw a sign on My Biryani cart that simply said “Fish Rice $6.99″.  You don’t see fish on too may carts, and I was intrigued by the vagueness of the handwritten sign.  Nothing like livin’ on the edge every now and then.

Today’s Lunch is the “fish rice” from My Biryani cart ($7).

I was in the mood for Indian food, and have recently been to Biryani Cart a few times to check out some new items, so I headed 2 blocks south to the My Biryani cart on the SW corner of 6th Ave & 44th St for a change of pace.  I previously had a really nice lunch of chicken kati rolls at My Biryani, and now it was time to try their namesake dish, biryani.

Today’s Lunch is Bombay spicy biryani ($6) from the My Biryani cart.

There’s a new biryani cart in town, My Biryani, but they’re taking on a legend.  The Biryani Cart on 46th St & 6th Ave has won the People’s Choice Award at the past 2 Vendy Awards, and show no signs of slowing down.

My Biryani is only 2 blocks south of Biryani Cart, on the SW corner of 44th St & 6th Ave.  Today’s Lunch is 2 chicken kati rolls ($6 or $3.50 each) from My Biryani.  How would the upstart newcomer measure up?  Find out after the jump.
