Nio’s Trinidad Roti Truck Returns To The FiDi (On Veronica’s Turf)
A Lunch’er alerted me to a little Caribbean turf war that happened yesterday when Nio’s Trinidad Roti truck park on Water St. near Pine, right in front of the plaza where Veronica’s Kitchen cart has sat for years on Front St. The menus looked somewhat similar with various meats served with peas and rice, along with roti (there weren’t prices posted, so no idea if they’re comparable). A search of the Web shows that Nio’s parked down on Front St. for many years serving three kinds of roti and doubles alongside the meat and rice dishes. The truck appears to be a mobile version of a brick and mortar roti shop on Church Ave. in Brooklyn. Did any of you eat at the truck yesterday or when it used to be down in the Financial District ages ago?

When they were here in 2008 they had doubles, and I don’t know why they wouldn’t now! I plan on checking the truck out next week.

I live near their restaurant and they get shut down by the DOH way too often for my taste but their doubles are tasty and cheap.

If anyone tries the doubles…let me know. I luv them and Manhattan lacks great doubles for real. :(
