Sad news for fans of the Zibetto Espresso Bar on Fulton St. (at Gold). It looks like it’s shuttered indefinitely, likely due to the large hole in the street in front of the store. This only adds to the mess at the other end of the street as the Fulton Transit Center has closed or displaced a bunch of other stores and restaurants. And yet the giant new Burger King a couple of doors down is still open. Sigh. Check out the notice posted on Zibetto’s door after the jump. Read more »

Yesterday Was A Truck Feast, Today It’s Famine: The bad news is we don't have a lot of activity on the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker, but the good news is that Rickshaw is on both Hudson in Soho and Hanover Sq. in the FiDi and Sweetery is also on Hudson. Calexico has both carts out with some ground beef action at the Prince location.

Sometimes it seems all we get down in the FiDi is crappy overpriced sandwiches or really good, but still overpriced, sandwiches. There are a couple of exceptions to this rule but the typical generic deli is not going to wow anyone with its offerings. A walk down the cobblestone streets off of South Street Seaport has led me to two good lunches at Barbarini Alimentari and Table Tales. The other day I found a third place to check out called Made Fresh Daily, on Front St. (btw. Peck Slip & Beekman). My interest was piqued when I saw a picture of a ham and cheese sandwich on a biscuit from there that made me want to lick my computer screen. That didn’t happen, but I did make it there recently for lunch and discovered they have something far more exciting than a sandwich. Read more »

We have so many great food options downtown (yes, really!) that it’s rare I have envy for whatever new options pop up in midtown or other parts of the city. Last week Kati Roll Co. in midtown debuted a new roll and it looked delicious. I wanted one, but since that wasn’t going to happen at lunch time I decided to use what I had at my disposal and head over to Liberty Plaza and get my kati roll fix from the Bombay Biryany cart. Would this fulfill my craving for an Indian burrito? Read more »
