A couple of weeks ago our hopes of Taim Mobile serving its sabich were raised and then dashed as it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Well, today you can finally get your hands on this much-loved egg and eggplant sandwich as a special at the truck’s location on Hudson St. in Soho. Early adopters feel free to tell us what you thought in the comments. Photo courtesy of Serious Eats.
The thought of eating at most of the places in Little Italy is unappealing partly due to the crowds and partly because they try to lure you in with super cheap food that lives up to the phrase “You get what you pay for.” And I would rather not eat a giant plate of sub-par pasta in the company of tourists.
Acquedolci is on Grand St. (nr. Mulberry) not quite in the thick of Little Italy, but close. Lunch’er Danielle had recommended the shop, saying she and her office mates order delivery from there all of the time. I decided to head up there since I’m sure a lot of people working on the edges of Soho and Nolita eat in this neighborhood frequently. And I would be crazy to turn down an Italian sandwich recommendation. Read more »

If you’re like me you didn’t know Goodies existed in that weird mall of sorts on Fulton St. (btw. William & Gold) where you will also find Tandoor Palace and the infamous Spa 88 and its three-course lunch. And even if you knew it was there, you probably never thought about eating there. It was touted in the forums as being underappreciated so I decided to go check it out since I hadn’t had good, greasy Chinese for lunch for far too long. After looking it up online I discovered that there used to be a place called Goodies on East Broadway in Chinatown, and I can’t imagine this is a very common restaurant name. This made me pretty excited to go eat there because we are lacking in good Chinese in the FiDi. Read more »

Food Trucks Back On The Streets: A look at the ML Downtown Twitter Tracker shows trucks are back on the streets today after yesterday's snow hiatus...Rickshaw is on both Hanover Square and Hudson, and the Sweetery is also on Hudson. The Burger Shoppe's special is something called the Georgia Reuben burger, which I hope doesn't involve peaches and sauerkraut.
