Midtown Lunch

The sandwich, the myth, the legend: the Spicy Rizzak, courtesy of Serious Eats NY

• Sandwich lovers rejoiced and wept as Tiny’s Giant Sandwich Shop reopened on the Lower East Side. A field trip may be in order. [Serious Eats NY]
• The Bon Chon on John St. apparently comes alive at night, but not so much at lunch, which is the complete opposite of every other place in the FiDi. [NY Times]
• Kuai An  in Chinatown puts all kinds of funky bits in some of their soups, but at least the hand-pulled noodles are tasty. [Food In Mouth]
• Looks like we weren’t the only ones who noticed the Plein Sud vs. C&H Halal Cart feud going down in Tribeca. [Eater NY]
• There are so many things to love about Chinatown, and these dirt-cheap fried black rice cakes at Quickly had me at $2.99 for a bag. [Fork In The Road]
