Midtown Lunch

It brings me great pleasure to pass along the news that the Trini Paki Boys chicken and rice cart finally passed its inspection this week, and is back on the SE corner of 43rd St. and 6th Ave.  Every two years carts have to renew their permits, and there was a hold up on their [...]

It’s confirmed that the Trini Paki Boys cart has returned to its spot on 43rd and 6th today, and they have goat biriyani as a special.  It’s good to have you back… that was a long three days.

The Trini Paki Boys cart is still waiting on the inspection they need to renew their cart’s license, but in the meantime they’ve decided to rent a licensed cart from somebody else so they can get back to work (on 43rd btw. 5+6th).  There is a small chance they might show up late today with [...]

If you can’t go too long without eating food from the Trini Paki Boys cart (the chicken over rice cart on 43rd btw. 5+6th) you might want to grab lunch there before the end of the week. They’re handing out fliers letting their customers know that the permit on their cart is up for [...]

When I go to Cafe Cello (on 46th btw. 5+6th) I pretty much always order the roast pork (with an occasional fried chicken detour.)  But if you’re looking for something different they now have a schedule of their specials hung on their front door.  They have roast pork and fried chicken every day, but if [...]

Blondie and Brownie have a tasty looking reminder on their blog this morning… today is Mutton Biriyani day at the Trini Paki Boys Cart!

I don’t know if the closing of Gourmet Magazine will have the same effect on the surrounding street lunch spots as the closing of Lehman Brothers did just over a year ago. But one cart that might notice is the Trini Paki Boys on 43rd and 6th, the go to chicken and rice spot [...]

The Trini Paki Cart (on 43rd & 6th Ave.) has become the present that keeps on giving.  By now you’ve read about how excited I was to discover all the things they serve in addition to their Pakistani chicken over rice plate, with Trinidadian pepper sauce.  There were the doubles and poulori (which are served [...]

Don’t forget, today (and tomorrow) is pigeon peas pelau day at the Trini Paki Boys cart (on 43rd & 6th.) Today they made it with beef, tomorrow they’re planning on chicken.

I don’t necessarily have some burning desire to eat pigeon (or squab, or whatever you want to call it) from a cart, but I will admit to being slightly disappointed to find that the Trini Paki Boys (on 43rd & 6th) were actually serving pigeon peas- not pigeon- yesterday. I suspected as much when I [...]
