Slooow Day On The Twitter Tracker: It's not that the nasty weather has scared anyone away, it's just that the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker is a little barren. Kimchi Taco Truck is on Hudson in SoHo along with Sweetery. Calexico is out today, but only the cart on Prince & Wooster.

It’s FiDi Truck Day!: No, it's not a specially designated day, but Wednesday is when all of the trucks flock way downtown. On the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker we have Korilla BBQ on Front,  Bian Dang on Water and La Cense on Wall. In SoHo there's Joyride on Hudson and Rickshaw has a truck in Tribeca on Greenwich.

Hopefully You Don’t Have To Desk Dine Today: The perfect weather has for once coincided with a bunch of trucks on the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker. Big D's Grub Truck is on Hanover Sq. and La Cense Burger is on Barclay. Calexico has a pulled pork with pineapple habenero salsa special and Taim Mobile is back from its break on Hudson. Rickshaw is also on Hudson and Korilla BBQ is on Varick. And another new entrant downtown today is the Cevap Truck parked on Old Slip.

Half Off Panini At Osteria Morini: If you've been wanting to eat at Osteria Morini on Lafayette (btw. Spring & Kenmare) but don't want to pay a lot now's your chance. From today through Friday you can try one of their new lunch panini for half off (normally $12 to $14), and one of them involves porchetta.

Schnitzel, Merguez On The Twitter Tracker: If the rain holds off it's balmy enough out to eat outside, so let's see what's on offer on the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker, shall we? Rickshaw is on Wall St., La Cense Burger Truck is on Barclay, and Comme Ci, Comme Ca is on Old Slip. Sweetery is on Hudson along with Schnitzel & Things. It looks like the Tribeca Taco Truck is also making an appearance on Broadway.

An $8 Alidoro Sandwich Deal At Puffy’s: If you'd rather drink than wait in line at Alidoro today's InBundles deal may be for you. You can get an Alidoro sandwich, chips and a glass of beer or wine for $8 at Puffy's Tavern on Hudson (at Harrison), which is a pretty great deal considering most of their sandwiches top the $10 mark.

Eddie’s On The Twitter Tracker: We're light on mobile eats on this Good Friday but there are a couple of options on the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker. Eddie's Pizza is on Hudson and La Cense Burgers is on Wall. Wafels & Dinges has a cart on Broadway & Grand.
