Normally I keep my head down and walk as fast I can through Times Square. And yet somehow I managed to spot this scene on my way to lunch at the NYC Cravings Truck yesterday. First thought: jailbait. Second thought: it’s funny how Meal O’bama is coerced into changing their name to Kwik Meal [...]

Typos on carts is a pretty common occurance, but there is something about this one I just love. Maybe because of how big it is? I don’t know. It’s just awesome. (I think the cart is on Park Ave. somewhere, but can’t remember the exact location.)

“Saw this after work yesterday on 32nd. The truck was right next to wichcraft, and there was a No Standing sign there. That cop was just stern as hell. Wrote up the truck and didn’t want to hear it from the ice cream guy. The ice cream guy [...]

You know the gross (and somewhat embarrassing) photo I post of all my lunches at the end of the year? Inexplicably, Photo Magazine’s new food issue (August 2009, in stores now) thinks it’s “hypnotic” and “sublime”. “All those beige carbs and and lunch meats form a compelling quilt of everyday eating.” [via Eat Me Daily]

Got this pretty funny photo and email from Lunch’er Harry on Friday. Spotted on the West side of 55th and 6th: “There was was one Mr. Softee truck on EACH corner and another one pulled up into the intersection. I think he was looking for a spot too.”

WTF. Seriously? This is what I saw during lunch today walking towards Times Square on 45th Street btw. 6+7th Ave. (I wasn’t quick enough with the camera to catch her friend… also with mask.) If anything, it’s us who should be wearing masks to protect ourselves from you out of towners! Well, maybe not a mask [...]

Another super depressing sight on the streets of Midtown today, this time involving my favorite food of all time. Never have I wanted more to be a Midtown pigeon. (It was the French crueller… I freakin’ love French cruellers.) Though unlike “the cookie incident”, I didn’t cause this disaster I just happened upon it (I [...]

Two chocolate chip cookies with nuts from the Treats Truck lying face down on 47th Street & 6th Ave. How do I know they were from the Treats Truck? Because I’m the one who dropped them… urgh, it’s so sad. Lesson: Don’t carry a paper bag with cookies in a gloved hand on a super [...]
