I also would like to participate. I'm a 'free agent' these days and the entire city is my lunchspot. Please let me know when this is going down. Thx!

Another possible contender: on the way to J Crew, I noticed a cart - Axel's Famous Halal - at the corner of Front and Maiden Lane. It had a very long line even after 1 pm which I take as an indicator of quality and the smells emanating from the cart were good.

Probably not a contender as there's no lamb, but I 'found' what I think is a new cart - Mexican food?

A thought occurred to me the other day as I searched for the address of a cart in the downtown area. "Why play the try-it-and-see game, messing with our possible wellbeing, when others have already done so?" Ok, Zach made it easy for Midtown to know which carts are good, but there are random sites out there that mention carts good in downtown. So I found 3 that were mentioned a few times and at least one of them is definitely also in Midtown.
Xpress Power Lunch on Whitehall & Maiden Lane, which is also in Midtown http://midtownlunch.com/2009/04/14/xpl-quietly-started-charging-for-drinks/
Power Lunch, Wall & Pearl
Halal Vendor, Beaver b/w Broadway & New Street
And for some reason, this cart was nominated for a Vendy though I can't imagine what it has that sets it apart from all the other fruit vendors:
Fruit Vendor, Wall & B'wayThe list I found was from a few years ago, so XPL may have changed location (beacuse I notice Cosilicion mentioned a different location for this cart in this thread). Okay maybe I'm stupid and you mentioned all of these already.
I think (hope) the weather is stabilizing and we can organize this to take place in the next few weeks. Thoughts?

Downtown peoples - which carts would you include for a downtown street meat palooza? I don't eat street meat often enough to have any really solid leads... although I personally hate the place on Water & Wall outside the AT&T store because I got sick the one time I went there (and it was gross). (Here's a pic: http://x7e.xanga.com/0aac4a6231c30196831570/b152141331.jpg) lol
I do like the place on South & ... crap, I forgot the cross street (I'll go look later). And I tried the place across from 10 Hanover Square yesterday because the banh mi cart line was RIDICULOUS. It was okay, like mini pieces of gyro meat with slightly gummy rice.
Additions? I figure we can start the ball rolling to have our own palooza!
