Cartwatch: Kosher Oasis Disappears, Reappears, Disappears Again
The Kosher Oasis cart, which appeared briefly back in December on 44th & 6th, reappeared earlier in the week on the SW corner of 47th & 6th. I stopped by yesterday to sample their menu of schnitzel, falafel, hot dogs and hamburgers, and they had disappeared once again. If you spot this cart, let us know in the comments (can you believe they’re not on twitter yet!?!) I did discover the other day that they are owned by the same people who own the Brooklyn location of Burgers Bar. I had never heard of it, but apparently it’s a very large Israeli hamburger chain which has a few locations here in NYC. Anybody ever been? If it’s good, it might bode well for the burgers from this cart… that is, if it ever returns.
UPDATE: The cart parks on 47th btw. 6+7th every day but Wednesdays. On Wednesday it has been parking on 49th btw. 6+7th.

 You know something would be wrong if a week went by without somebody announcing they’re opening a new street cart.  This week we’ve got two.  The Bistro Truck plans on hitting the streets by the end of the month serving up a delicious (and cheap) looking menu of Moroccan specialties like merguez, lamb, and tajine (in addition to a burger, and steak sandwich.)  They’ll start off in Union Square, but the owner told me they might come to Midtown eventually.  You can see the menu

Pancakes and bacon?  Chorizo and eggs?  Breakfast wraps?  All from a cart?  Amazing.  Now if only they’d stay open past Noon! [

 Yesterday, Lunch’er Dan sent word about a new Jamaican cart parked on the SE corner of 48th and Park called the Jerk Pan.  Not sure how long it has been there, or whether or not it will still be there today.  He forwarded along a menu that looks very similar to the
