No idea how long they’ve been selling it, or who’s making it, but now you can get some baklava to go with your insanely strong coffee at the Turkish coffee cart on Wall St. & Pearl. The sign on the side says it’s $2, and I’m guessing that’s per piece. Your move, Alfanoose.
Get Ready For Jalapeno & Spinach Falafel, Soho!: It's amazing what happens when the sun is shining, as in, more trucks visit us with delicious food. Today on the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker, Taim is on Hudson with another special falafel, and Korilla will be on Vandam, but is running behind schedule. The FiDi is getting Rickshaw on Hanover Sq. today.

As is customary here on Midtown Lunch, every Tuesday we’ll profile a different lunch’er and get their recommendations for places to eat in Downtown NYC. This week, we have Jen who is seeking all of the vegetarian delights the lower part of the Financial District has to offer.

Front & South), the eggplant parm sandwich from the pizza truck at Wall and Water (Jiannetto’s?), the “Oreo” cookies at Jack’s Stir Brew on Front (btw. Beekman & Peck), falafel at Alfanoose on Maiden Lane (btw. Broadway & Nassau) or that Kosher hole in the wall on Fulton by Gold St. (Kosher Luncheonette), Pakistan Tea House on Church (at Reade) , Xi’an Famous Foods on E. Broadway (at Forsyth), and well, I wish I had more favorites but the Wall Street area doesn’t offer too much.
