The novelty of grilled cheese from a mobile unit isn’t relegated to one truck, but now there are three of these things roaming the streets. Gorilla Cheese hit downtown back in May, drawing both lines and outrage at how much their small sandwiches cost. A while ago, Milk Truck started parking at Wall and William streets on Tuesdays and Fridays and in Soho one day a week. There’s also the Morris Grilled Cheese truck which parks in Brooklyn and other parts of Manhattan. If you’re not tired of reading about the multiple kinds of fancy grilled cheese yet, click through for a look at the sandwich I tried that involves the words “champagne pickled” and “Wisconsin gruyere.”

If you were one of the people who got sad when the original Ray’s Pizza (no, really) closed on Prince St. btw. Mott & Elizabeth never fear because the replacement is not too shabby.

Fancy sandwich shop Table Tales at the South St. Seaport has closed its Water St. location, according to its website, and is moving to Front St. between Fulton & Beekman. Tip of the hat to Lunch’er Deep for sending this along. I’m not sure if this forthcoming “sandwich shop and market” will be any different from what they were before but I’ll keep you posted since there were at least a couple of gems on the menu including this ugly yet delicious specimen.
