Halal Vendors Chase Happy Well Being Cart Back Downtown
Terrible news hit the Midtown Lunch Forums last night. It looks like the Happy Well Being House Cart (on 50th btw. 6+7th) has permanently taken their fried fish and bulgogi goodness back Downtown.
“Hi, I’m a daughter of that vendor. sorry… midtown lunchers :( my mom and sister took cart to downtown. when my mom’s new cart was broken, they took downtown’s old cart to the midtown to serve you guys despite downtown customers look for us like midtown lunchers T_T. when they fixed the new cart they started to serve BF but I think they had a fight w/ halal vendors. halal vendors banned Happy well being house cart so they couldn’t stay there anymore. now mom and sisters are taking downtown spot. they are servng food in downtown.(varick st/ king st) same food same owner in downtown :)”
Of course this isn’t the first time an established vendor has intimidated a new vendor. In fact, it pretty much happens every time a new cart or truck sets up shop in Midtown. Kim from the Treats Truck got it from the Mr. Softee guy (luckily they were able to “work out a deal”), Rickshaw Dumpling deals with it all the time, and we think that Rafiqi’s scared that Udon cart away before setting their sights on El Rey Del Sabor. Thankfully the Mexican cart hasn’t been intimidated. Sadly, if we decide to boycott every cart that does this to another cart- there will be no street meat left for us to eat.

Happy Well Being Cart needs to come back!
F’ those loser halal carts for getting rid of bulgogi. They’re the ones that totally suck and should make way for something worth buying. They can’t even put a scratch on 53rd and 6th which is only a few blocks away. -
sushiburger, nicely written. i hope they see your message and decide to come back!

Post if/when you’re going back… give it a few days beforehand… we can all then show our support. Me? I’ll walk 10+ blocks to show my support.
You can learn lessons from 50 Cent about things other than drug dealing, gang banging, spinning rims and poor fathering?
