Midtown Lunch

I love it when Midtown Lunch brings people together. So in that spirit I was hoping somebody out there could help this tourist out. She ate a sausage while visiting NYC a few weeks ago, and hasn’t been able to get it out of her head since.

Hi Zach,

I have an unusual request. I returned from New York City a few weeks back. I was there from July 23 – Aug 1. While there I dined at a street vendor I believe was on 50th Street and 7th Avenue. It was just down the street from the Sheraton NY on 53rd. I think that it is one street down from the Jamaican Dutchy but I am not positive. It is just off to the left from the corner of 7th Avenue. I had the chicken served over rice with salad on July 31st. The food was amazing, however, this is not the reason for my email. A few nights prior to that I had a sausage on a bun and that is when I first met the gentleman that was working for the vendor.

The cost of it was $5 but he was kind enough to give it to us for $4 since that is all the money that we brought with us. He said that he is a science teacher and he works for the vendor only for the summer months. He talked about the museums and many spectacular sites New York City has to offer. I believe he was in his mid 40s, dark complexion, about 5’7″, and very handsome. My dilemna is that since I have returned to Canada I have found myself thinking about this man I met from time to time. However brief our meeting was, he has caught me by his presence. I am wondering if you can help me out by going to this place to find out the name and possible contact information for this man? I would be so grateful to you.

Signed,
Sleepless in Canada

Ahhhhh… charmed by a summertime hot dog vendor. I love it. We must help this lady out. Anybody know which vendor she’s talking about?
