The 99% Vegetarian Food Cart: Now With Real Chicken!

This may have been happening for a while, but it looks like the 99% Vegetarian Food Cart on Liberty St. (at Broadway) now has real chicken along with guacamole. The chicken, if you eat meat, has to be better than the fake soy kind that was definitely not the highlight of the cart’s offerings.

Eddie’s Bringing Pizza Cart To Tribeca Five Days A Week

If you like bar pies and work or live in Tribeca there’s good news. Eddie’s Pizza is going to have a cart parked at Greenwich & Reade streets starting next week selling the same bar pies, heroes and salads that can be found at their truck, including the $10 lunch special. The cart will be there Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. It’s part of the growing fleet of carts from Eddie’s that they first debuted at the ML Fifth Birthday Party back in June, and part of a trend as it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find street parking for food trucks.
