I don’t know when you can tell if the NYC truck scene has reached saturation of a certain kind of food, but I feel the BBQ meats in taco and slider form is almost there. A couple of weeks ago, Mike ‘N’ Willie’s truck entered the fray, following in the footsteps of Mexicue and Korilla BBQ. I know that nearly all of us love a good taco or BBQ stuffed in a bun, but how are we to know which truck to spend our hard earned money at? I headed over to Mike N Willie’s when they parked in the FiDi the other day to check out their abbreviated menu.

I’ve got to say I’m a little jealous of some of the new food options in Battery Park City, and now we all have more reason since the World Financial Center’s getting a food truck court. As we’ve all noticed, food trucks have been getting hassled in Midtown, and also in Soho and the Financial District so this will give them a place to park without fear of getting ticketed or asked to leave in the middle of lunch service. Brookfield Office Properties teamed up with the NYC Food Truck Association to make this happen, along with the Battery Park City Authority. And the best part? Trucks will be there from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays through 2013. See a list of those participating after the jump. UPDATE: The schedule for next week’s up! Read more »

The Profiled Lunch’er Feature Needs Your Help: You all may have noticed a hole in your lives on some recent Tuesdays when the Profiled Lunch'er feature has gone missing. So I'm asking for your help in volunteering to be a profilee and sharing your lunch picks witj all of the other readers, as well as helping me find new things to review. It helps us all discover new eating options, and while some people fear their lunch choices are boring, I say there's no such problem as not everyone reading this site exclusively eats street meat. If you'd like to be profiled (or know someone who does), shoot us an e-mail at downtown@midtownlunch.com.
