Midtown Lunch

Celebrate Your Irish Ancestors With Beef Brisket At Calexico: I'm back from jury duty, and that means the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker posts are also back. Today we have beef brisket with chili almond sauce as a special at the Calexico cart on Prince, Mexicue is on Water St. and Kimchi Taco Truck, Rickshaw and Sweetery are all on Hudson. Also, Hot Clay Oven tweets that the Chipotle across the street on Maiden Lane was closed yesterday. Anybody know why?

Free Sweetery Alert: This is late notice but if you work near Hudson & King you might want to head over to the orange Food Network Sweetery Truck for a free dessert. The freeloading is good until 10:30 a.m.

Kalamata Olive Falafel At Taim Today: Once again, Soho has the monopoly on food trucks downtown today, according to the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker. Taim Mobile is on Hudson with olive falafel, and Korilla is on Varick. A little further downtown there's the La Cense Burger Truck on Barclay. And for all of you who like to drink your lunch (or eat bar food), the Downtown Alliance tweets that Ryan Maguire's pub on Cliff St. has reopened after a fire.

Soho Has All The Trucks Today: It's another one of those days of drought for food trucks in the FiDi, but Soho has a couple of good ones. According to the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker, Schnitzel & Things is on Hudson, along with the Sweetery truck. Both of the Calexico carts are out and the one on Prince has pulled pork in tomatillo/arbol sauce.

Last Day For Bian Dang’s $5 Deal: As you may have seen, Bian Dang has been serving $5 chicken or pork over rice all week, and they'll be on Varick today. You know who else is on Varick? Kimchi Taco Truck with its delicious falafel tacos. Also on the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker, Eddie's is on Hudson with tomato basil soup and Rickshaw and the Sweetery truck are on the same street. Frites N Meats is on Water

Street Vendors Kicked Out Of Spots On Liberty!?: If you walked by Liberty St. & Broadway in the last couple of days and noticed the lack of carts like Biryani House, 99% Vegetarian and A-Pou's Taste, the Street Vendor Project brings word that it's because they were apparently made to leave by the people at 140 Broadway. The SVP is readying a letter to the building owners and you can stop by a table on that corner today until 2:30 p.m. and sign in support of the carts. More on this tomorrow...

Half Off At Yushi: You have until the end of the day to get 50% off at Yushi in the World Financial Center. There are a couple of different options that you can check out here, but basically you can either get $14 worth of food at lunch time for $7 or $20 worth of food for $10 later in the day. Either way, it fits into the ML budget.
