Snow Separates The Carts From the Boys: Snow means less business for street vendors, and already some are throwing in the towel on the ML Twitter Tracker. Papa Perrone is out, as is the Street Sweets truck. But Schnitzel & Things is on 48th, Wafels and Dinges is on 46th, Cravings is on 53rd, and according to this tipster, the Jamaican Dutchy is on 51st. Get out and support!

Bill’s Burger is Going to Be Bigger Than We Thought: Earlier this month, Eater broke the big news that Bill's Bar and Burger would be opening a new location in Rock Center. Now FloFab says they've reconfigured the Tuscan Square layout, and it's going to be even bigger than originally reported. 563 seats instead of 330, and they plan on serving 2000 burgers a day. Holy moley.

Ted’s Montana Grill Gets the DOH: Lunch'er "Melani" reported yesterday that Ted's Montana Grill (on 50th btw. 6+7th) was closed by the DOH, and Eater confirms it with a photo. Thankfully it wasn't evidence of live mice riding the mechanical bull or anything like that, but just permit issues... no word on when it will reopen. UPDATE: Whoops... confused Ted's Montana Grill with Johnny Utah's. Those places all blend together after awhile...

Oaxaca Mexican Grill Opening Monday: Got this email from Lunch'er "Mike" yesterday afternoon: "Just walked by Oaxaca Mexican Grill (on 47th btw. Lex+Park) and the door was open so I walked in. They are officially opening on Monday and the woman behind the counter gave me a menu and a free coupon for a burrito. Place looks like it is going to be good."
