TODAY’S LUNCH: DOUBLE DOUBLE FROM FEED YOUR HOLE

I keep hearing about Double Double Fridays at Feed Your Hole, and today I finally took the plunge. The only doubles I've had related to street food are Trinidadian doubles, which I had at the Trini-Paki Boys cart, but that has nothing to do with what Sean was serving at Feed Your Hole. The Double Double at Feed Your Hole is...

TODAY’S LUNCH: FALAFEL PLATTER FROM TAIM MOBILE

I've had a number of excellent falafel sandwiches from Taim Mobile, but never had one of their platters.  I figured with the rain, lines would be shorter, but it was only a little shorter than usual.  Today's Lunch is a falafel platter ($10) from Taim Mobile. Taim's falafel platter comes with six falafel balls, hummus, quinoa salad, Israeli salad and...

BistroShopp
If you read New York Street Food, you have probably heard about Cake & Shake, a cupcake and milkshake cart that had 2 carts, one in Washington Square Park and one outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  They closed the Wash Sq Park cart this year, but still have one outside the Met. Now a new cart has appeared on...

TODAY’S LUNCH: FETA, CUCUMBER & ZUCCHINI SANDWICH FROM THE MORRIS TRUCK

When I went to the Morris Truck last month for a NYSF First Look, the guy in front of me got one of their cold sandwiches that looked really good.  Morris may be known for their grilled cheese sandwiches, but the cold sandwiches seem a little more appropriate for hot summer days like this one. Today's Lunch is a feta,...
