Tell them: "combo with spicy rice, please." You will not regret it.
This no frills spot serves up warm baguettes stuffed with one of five options (we like classic pork and sardine), plus soul-warming pho soups. Try the Vietnamese coffee for a pick-me-up.
The old-fashioned pizza, basically a grandma (or "nonna") pie, is insanely great here. It's THE pizza to get, plain or topped. A riot of crust textures, crisp, chewy, springy-fried. 続きを読む
Buy a reusable bowl and a discount card for a dollar. Every time you reuse your bowl, you get two free toppings.
Great place to relax and stare at beautiful French pastries. -Eric Wolitzky, Top Chef Just Desserts
Chef Julian Medina's fast-casual Mexican spot serves delicious guacamole, chicken and brisket tacos. This is definitely a place to get your Mexican fix!
This famous shack probably has the best downtown burger, and the Wall-nut Street shake (chocolate truffle cookie dough, walnuts and cherries mixed into vanilla custard) is a force to be reckoned with.
Alfanoose serves up high-quality Middle Eastern cuisine. Their well-spiced falafel is consistently included on best-of lists. Wide variety of vegetarian options.
Love this place! Come after 2:30 and the hot buffet is discounted. But main courses are so cheap and plentiful, it's a steal!
Vendy Award winner for best Mediterranean platter. $4 falafel sandwich that fills you up with delishness. What are you waiting for.
Chicken was thinly sliced with crispy edges but still juicy in the middle. Tzatziki was beyond fresh and so yummy! They need to give more per order! Can't wait to go back for their froyo!
Tilapia plate ftw! It's not too spicy if you're Asian & used to fiery food. I asked for extra hot sauce and it was still a bit mild. If you want pita with the plate, it's $1 extra.
The gyro here is spiced with black pepper, making it way more flavorful than other street carts. The lady also adds a little bit of Italian dressing to give it an extra vinegary edge. Sold!
Prices are a little steeper than I'd like so I've only been twice. The food is pretty healthy and good, especially if judging by FiDi's nonexistent Asian-food standards.
To start, they play real Greek music to lend an extra touch of authenticity. I feel as if I've been transported to Astoria.
Standout falafel in herbal green and spicy red variations--a must for Tribeca lunchers.
Try the best deal of all: $6 chicken-lamb-falafel combo! Lamb is super flavorful, chicken moist and falafel nutty. Also this cart has 6 different "sauces," including hummus and a green sauce!
Her tilapia platter is so good without any gross breading or greasy crap. $6 for tilapia and salad, $1 extra for rice and beans. My new default "street meat"!
Check out the drink fridge for some fun choices: strawbanana fruit nectar, blueberry Teany, Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray (celery soda), peach Heart of Tea.
Obao is recovered from Sandy mayhem and back in business! Menu looks about the same.
During warmer months this South Street Seaport branch of Smorgasburg has vendors selling everything from sandwiches to oysters and drinks out of re-purposed shipping containers.
When you ask for spicy, you will get it. It may not necessarily burn in your mouth but the slow-building heat will definitely unleash its fury in your stomach. Be prepared with some dairy on hand.
This unpretentious cart delivers a pun-filled menu for your funny bone and yummy, healthy bites for your mouth & stomach. Falafel salad is a win but everything else sounds wonderful too!
Though it may sound like a yogurt shop, it's actually a great option if you're looking for a healthy lunch alternative. Try their buckwheat noodle bowls and add in whatever veggies you like!
Located inside Equinox. Cheaper green smoothies that do not come out of questionable carts. Almond milk available! Healthy looking hot bar with many rows of gym snacks (power / energy bars galore).
Tuna Tataki Salad is impossibly fresh and light and perfect for stupid hot days. Highlight is the aggressively sassy wasabi dressing.
Aussie central: baristas have sexy accents with looks to match. Almond flat white & avocado smash will be my standing order for my return trips.
