The new Kosher Oasis Cart has had an interesting first couple of months. It first appeared on 44th street (btw. 6+7th) at the end of last year, but then like a mirage (or oasis?) it reappeared on 47th, only to disappear and reappear again a few times throughout August. It seems to have [...]

Every few months I gravitate back to the Bulgogi Cart on 49th btw. 6+7th hoping that it will graduate from decent to excellent. Over the year and a half it’s been operating, I think we can all agree on certain conclusions. 1) Their kalbi is much better than their bulgogi. 2) Keeping your expectations low is [...]

On Friday I had lunch plans with my brother, who is hands down the soup aficionado of our family. I don’t mind soup; he can’t get enough of the stuff. To decide where we would go for lunch, I sent him a link to Lunch’er Grace’s Ultimate Midtown Soup List, and after careful perusal, he chose [...]

Remember when I wrote about the bento boxes Chiyoda Sushi (on 41st btw. Mad+5th) was selling out of plastic tubs on 49th btw. 6+7th? Well it appears as if the Chiyoda guy has been replaced by another dude selling Japanese bento boxes out of plastic tubs in the same spot. This new guy is from [...]

The rumors about the clothing store Strawberry on 49th St. btw. 6+7th closing have turned out to be true, as evidenced by their gigantic closing sale signs. They will be moving to a new location on Broadway and 54th at the end of August, clearing the way for a “high end” “high profile” seafood restaurant, according to [...]

It was almost a year ago this week that the infamous “$1 Bulgogi Sandwich Cart” popped up on 49th St. btw. 6+7th. It disappeared for a little while, and then reappeared- serving cheap plates of bulgogi (Korean stir fried beef), with a weird undercooked yellow rice, and the smallest portion of kimchee (Korean pickled cabbage) I’ve [...]

***UPDATE: The price of this deal has gone up to $11.95 since this piece was written***
This is not a typo people. You are not seeing things. This week I made an amazing discovery, that adds Del Frisco’s (the enormous, upscale and extremely expensive steakhouse in the middle of Midtown Manhattan) to the list of official Midtown [...]

Is there anything better than a big bowl of Ramen on a cold day, when
you’re coming down with a cold? The “Special Ramen” from Sapporo (49th btw
6&7th)…

Well, the mystery of the infamous $1 Bulgogi Sandwich has finally been solved. The Korean Cart on 49th St. btw. 6th & 7th was back this week, and finally had the sandwiches. Now that I know what it’s made of, it’s hard to understand what took them so long. My guess is they hadn’t received [...]

Who says 4 posts about a mediocre Bulgogi cart is overkill??? (Clearly you didn’t see me the week Chipotle opened in my building) Well, I said on Monday I would post more info about the food- but I promise this is the last one (until the $1 “bulgogi sandwiches” arrive in a few weeks). I wanted to post some real pictures of the [...]
