I also wish I had a better variety of options of veggie sides like collard greens or provisions. I think Veronica's is overall a superior cart.</p> <p>53rd and 6th halal was great as usual, but you need to be drunk to truly enjoy the stuff. It was entertaining to hear comments from tourists as they walked by. Makes me miss working in midtown. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/any-must-try-places-for-midtown-lunch#post-1373 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 11:42:22 -0500 Formz 1373@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Hallo Berlin German Food Cart on 54th and 5th. God I love that place. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/any-must-try-places-for-midtown-lunch#post-1369 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:35:03 -0500 teeody 1369@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>I agree on both. Kati Rolls and Chicken Biryani from Biryani cart are must have before you die foods. Jamaican Dutchy is excellent but, i went last week and it took about 35 min. to get my food!! Well worth it, but damn. Also if you like tamales try The Tamale Lady outside the Mexican Embassy, 27 E. 39th St. (btw. Mad+Park). </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/any-must-try-places-for-midtown-lunch#post-1367 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:06:54 -0500 adamprato 1367@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>If I weren't in Midtown for a while and I had an oppurtunity to lunch here, either the Kati Rolls from Biryani Cart, or anything from the Jamaican Dutchy would be me must-have's. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/any-must-try-places-for-midtown-lunch#post-1363 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 08:57:24 -0500 Chris H. 1363@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>My normal lunch spots are usually limited to FiDi and (ugh) Jersey City, but I have a rare opportunity to grab lunch in Midtown today. </p> <p>In everyone's opinion, what is the one 'must try' place for someone who hasn't lunched in Midtown for months.</p> <p>Genre of food can be anything, but i'd prefer something west of 5th ave. Sit-down type meal is a plus as well.</p> <p>(Regardless, i'm taking a cruise by 50th &#38; 6th to see if the Happy Well Being Cart magically pops up) </p>
