It’s hard to remember that Harry’s Italian Pizza Bar exists since it’s off the beaten path of Maiden Lane, down Gold St. on a short little stretch of Platt St. that’s only a couple of blocks long. In the summer eating there is a nice treat as there is plentiful outdoor seating and the lunch menu is vast and full of pizza, parm sandwiches and pasta (or macaroni, as the menu calls it). The only problem is that nearly everything except the sandwiches and a small calzone are $10 or more. Sometimes it’s nice to sit and have table service instead of eating on a bench or at your desk, but is the extra cost worth it? Read more »

Half Off At Tiny’s Giant Sandwich: I know a lot of you are fans of Tiny's Giant Sandwich Shop on Rivington and today on InBundles you can get $14 worth of food for $7. Spicy Rizzak anyone?

It’s rare that I actually want to step foot in a fast food restaurant although there have been a couple of gems discovered through reviews including Checkers and more recently, Potbelly Sandwich Shop. Popeyes is one of those places that I feel I can eat at every once in a while and not feel ashamed of it – completely unlike all those people who look embarassed to be eating at the Blimpie’s at John & Nassau every time I walk by. Normally, my go-to at Popeyes is spicy fried chicken but I’ve been intrigued by the BBQ chicken sandwich pictured in a giant sign on the window. It coincidentally came out around the same time as the BBQ pulled pork sandwich at Subway, although I trust the people at Popeyes more with making an edible lunch. The other day I took the plunge and stopped at Popeye’s on Fulton St. (btw. Broadway & Nassau) to see if they could do anything good with chicken besides fry it.

Now Film Shoots Are Shooing Trucks Away: Mexicue tried to park in the FiDi and was denied due to a film shoot (at least it wasn't the police!), according to the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker. Also, Sweetery is on Hudson until 1 p.m., that Pico de Gap truck is on Varick and Eddie's Pizza has its cart at Greenwich & Duane. Cupcake Stop has trucks at both Water and Varick, La Cense is on Wall and Kimchi Taco Truck is on Hudson.
