@win – your assumption is entirely correct.

Let’s hear it for Certe, always a favorite of my office. The boycott of Pret and the appropriately-initialed “BM” from my office at 1350 will continue.

I don’t get it .. I just came from the NYC Cravings truck and they are and always have been parked on a meter parking spot.

I assume that Cravings just pays for the time they are there as would any other vehicle – anyone know what the actual law says?

I’m guessing the law exists, but is practically never enforced unless weasels like Bistro & Pret squeal like the pigs they are!

This is ridiculous. It comes to show that Pret and Bistro Milano have NO understanding of capitalism. What makes me happy though is that a lunch spot with a great reputation (Certe) was kind to go over and welcome them to the neighborhood (as per the first post).

As you said, adamprato, I will also continue to eat from Certe, but Pret and Bistro Milano need to suffer for making this move.

Bistro Milano is seriously weak sauce. I’ll be telling my friends and colleagues to steer clear of that sh*t show.

Certe once again proves how they’re a class act.

If it weren’t for midtown lunch, I would have probably never gone into Certe since I avoid those chi-chi lunch shops. Aside from keeping their offerings within the midtownlunch limits, and maximizing what you can get for the money, Certe is a good neighbor on top of that.

Well done Certe.

We are located down the block from where Street Sweets was and feel that it is very unfortunate to lose them, especially in such circumstances. The first day we saw the truck, we went over to introduce ourselves and welcome them to the neighborhood. We wish them the best of luck in their new location and are sorry to see how some of our community has treated them.
