We need someone for this Tuesday (yes, tomorrow) and weeks beyond. If you're interested and work downtown below Houston St., e-mail us at downtown@midtownlunch.com to volunteer!

Last week the Cinnamon Snail truck started selling its vegan food in New York City five days a week after essentially being forced out of parking across the river in Hoboken and Jersey City. They were supposed to be in the Financial District on Thursday but were unable to find parking and instead made a surprise appearance on Monday on Wall St. I headed over for a late lunch and was impressed with how quickly the short line moved and the time it took for me to get my food despite only one guy handling the food. There are only approximations of meat served at this truck (along with a whole lot of delicious-looking vegan baked goods), and I ordered one to see what they were doing with seitan.

Get $20 Worth Of Portugese Food For $10: It's not often you see a Portugese restaurant in the city, but it happens there's one in Soho, and they have a deal right now for $20 worth of food at lunch for $10. As a bonus, it's over on a stretch of Spring St. by the Holland Tunnel where not many other food options exist.

One of my favorite trucks or mobile vending options in the Financial District is the $5 $5.50 Lunch Truck which dispenses street meat, curries, stews and a damn fine plate of fish on the corner of Ann & Nassau. Trouble is, since it’s out of the way, I often forget about it but the other day I remembered I’d been meaning to try their goat curry and headed over. Not that that curry wasn’t tasty, but if you click through I’ll tell you why I probably wouldn’t order this again.
