Here’s one for people on a budget and the clock. Havana Central is introducing the “Rapido Lunch” at all 3 of its Manhattan locations (Union Sq, Times Sq and West End). For $9.95 you get your choice of entree from the Rapido menu (after the jump), which will be served within 15 minutes of being seated. [...]

In some back and forth on Twitter this weekend with @SchnitzelTruck , we learned that there may be a couple of new menu items released soon: pumpkin spaetzle and veal schnitzel. According to Wikipedia, spaetzle are a type of egg noodles and small dumplings found in the cuisine of Germany and regions of neighboring Austria and Switzerland. I finally got my [...]

If there’s one block in Midtown East that bears any resemblance to the East Village, it’s gotta be E. 53rd b/t 2nd and 3rd. It’s here, and pretty much only here, that you will find several narrow, pint-sized restaurants serving up an array of ethnic and slightly eclectic eats in Midtown East. Like many an ethnic nook [...]

The La Cense Burger Truck has made its NYC debut and is parked at 48th and Park (SE corner) as we speak. The line was about 20 or so deep when I arrived on the scene and none other than Zach from MidtownLunch (with son Harry in tow) was already there at the window placing his [...]

Just spoke with the guys over at the El Rey Del Sabor cart and they’re gearing up for the launch of their new delivery service. They asked that we put their menu online so people will know what they can order and how much the menu items cost. delivery phone number: 917-837-8278 / delivery radius: [...]

While I was at the El Rey Del Sabor cart (60th and 3rd location) picking up a couple of tacos for lunch this afternoon — a spicy pork and a beef tongue to be sure — I overheard one of the guys behind the cart giving his digits to a woman at the counter. When she walked [...]

Dutch eatery Danku has opened in Midtown to mixed reviews, though Cravings swears by the Indonesian Sloppy Joe + Organic Fries and NYC Foodie recently discovered some unique dishes there worth trying. We got word from Danku today that come April 30th, which just happens to be Queen’s Day (Holland’s National Holiday), they will begin serving made-to-order [...]

When speaking last week with Gamal, who runs the 100% Healthy & Halal Cart at 55th and Park — home of my favorite street cart salad, I found out that he also owns and operates the Halal Cart at 54th and Park. He told me he gives his guys over there 100% freedom in terms of coming up [...]

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today, and it being the first night of Passover, I decided to treat myself to a little Carnegie Deli for lunch. I went with my go-to sandwich — the Woody Allen. This behemoth is a combination corned beef and pastrami sandwich and was given its name after the deli [...]

It’s no longer the “off-the-menu” Greek Salad w/ Grilled Chicken at 100% Halal & Healthy (55th & Park), which Midtown Lunch refers to as “may be the only salad I’ll eat” in Midtown. As of last week, the 100% Halal & Healthy cart has a new look and a new menu (click pic). It still [...]

Midtown Lunch, which has been a go-to website for me and thousands of others looking to find “cheap, fast, interesting and good” food for under $10 in Midtown, has put forth the following sandwich challenge to all restaurants and food carts in Midtown: “Come up with a new sandwich.  A bold sandwich. A sandwich that pushes the [...]

I started to write this before even finishing my Black Label Burger that I had delivered to me at my office from City Burger (for 10% off I should add). I think I may have two bites left (if i take really small bites) and I’m procrastinating cause I don’t want to see it go. [...]

 It looks like my New Year’s resolution didn’t even last a week. After reading all the hooplah over the past month about City Burger’s famed Pat La Frieda Black Label burger, including this rave review by A Hamburger Today, I decided to break down today and give it a shot. I was a bit reluctant to do so after [...]

After two unfruitful attempts to try the much-hyped Obika take-out, I finally got my shot today. By the time I arrived, all they had left was a mozzarella and sun-dried tomato piadina (not sure what the difference is between this and a panini, but it’s on piadina bread). They heated it up for me and I was off. [...]

Street food vendors are all the rage right now in Midtown. They  have cult followings (at least the good ones do) and even have their own Vendy Awards. Thanks to Midtown Lunch, I have discovered quite a few food carts to add to my work week lunch rotation. There’s the new taco truck near Bloomies (try the spicy lamb [...]
