TODAY’S LUNCH: ALPENWURST & SMOKED KIELBASA FROM HALLO BERLIN

I was walking down 5th Ave at lunchtime, and when I got to 54th St, I looked west and saw that Hallo Berlin only had 3 people on line.  Now that's something I had to take advantage of! The line at Hallo Berlin, the winner of the very first Vendy Award,  is usually at least 10 people at lunch.   It...

JOHN LENNON STREET ART FROM AROUND THE WORLD

We love street food, but also have a keen interest in street art. To commemorate what would have been John Lennon's 71st birthday (October 9th) and yesterday’s 40th anniversary of “Imagine’s” release as a single, one of our favorite websites, Flavorpill, compiled a gallery of street art that celebrates both the song "Imagine" and John Lennon. From Liverpool and New York...

TODAY’S LUNCH: GRILLED SALMON OVER RICE FROM MY BIRYANI CART

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...

TODAY’S LUNCH: THE ACROPOLIS FROM CRISP ON WHEELS

Crisp on Wheels has taken the opposite path of many food trucks.  The usual trajectory is for someone to open a food truck, then open a restaurant, as was done by Schnitzel & Things, Souvlaki GR and countless other food trucks. Crisp on Wheels had several brick-and-mortar locations in the city, and then opened a food truck, which is not...
