TODAY’S LUNCH: SOUVLAKI FROM SOUVLAKI GR

I had to make a rare foray down to the Financial District, which made it a perfect time to catch up with Souvlaki GR for Today's Lunch.

TODAY’S LUNCH: BROWN STEW CHICKEN FROM THE JERK PAN

I was over by Grand Central for a late morning meeting, and when I got out, I had a hankering for some Jamaican food.  The Jerk Pan truck is only a few blocks north of Grand Central, on the SE corner of 48th St & Park Ave, and I really enjoyed their fried chicken earlier this year.

A few...
