Midtown Lunch

Freeze For Dumplings And Falafel: We have a strong crop of trucks visiting downtown today according to the ML Twitter Tracker... NYC Cravings is on Water St. for the last time before its rebranding, and Rickshaw and Taim Mobile are both on Hudson in Soho.

Taim Mobile In The FiDi Today: Jealous of everyone else getting to try Taim Mobile? Well, according to their Twitter they're at 10 Hanover Square today so you can go try out their awesome falafel yourself. And maybe if enough of us show up they'll put the FiDi on the regular rotation.

Pay Half Price At Baba Ghanouge: If you've been looking for a healthier version of falafel or shawarma, you can try Baba Ghanouge in Tribeca for 50% off by going here. It's a buy $10 for $5 deal, good to buy for the next few days.

Nominations Now Open For 2010 Reader’s Poll: It's time for the first reader's poll of downtown lunch'ers. Do you have an opinion on who should be in the running for the final "Best of Downtown"? Well, get over to the forums for the 2010 Downtown Lunch Reader's Poll. Speak now or don't complain when your favorites aren't included.

Taim Mobile Diverts To Soho Today: The new Taim Mobile truck was supposed to make its grand entrance in midtown today, but luckily for us they're coming downtown instead. According to their Twitter, the truck will be on Hudson btw. King & Charlton today for your lunching needs.

Downtown Nicky’s Vietnamese Now Serving Pho: If you've ever despaired about the lack of Vietnamese noodle soup in the Financial District, you now have at least one option without taking the train to Chinatown. When Nicky's Vietnamese Sandwiches opened last month on Nassau & Ann a lunch'er noted that they would start serving pho soon like they do at the Brooklyn outpost. A call to the store this morning confirms that it's now available, just in time for the many freezing days ahead.

Free Pie At Bubby’s Today: If you work in or near Tribeca you might want to head over to Bubby's Pie Company on Hudson St. (at N. Moore) today for some free pie in celebration of their two decade anniversary. The giveaway started at 11 a.m. with 600 slices on hand, and will go until they're all gone.
