I saw it the other day when I went to jury duty it's behind one chase manhattan plaza or a block to the left on that street.... I think it's owned by the people who own Ravioli fair in Bensonhurst brooklyn so you might be able to call them and ask try Googling Ravioli Fair it's on 15th ave and 86th street.

Thanks D! I will call them the next day I get off--since this cart usually was sold out by noon, and I start working at 10:30 in midtown!
-
I saw Ravioli Fair today... it was on Nassau Street
-
What exactly is this cart? Do they serve ravioli?
-
Yeah they do but the raviloi's not great, just fair.

I haven't been in 10 years, literally, since I graduated from law school. I used to walk down after my 9 or 10 am class and grab some giant subs from their cart (italian, tuna, and veal parm were my staples). They were very long sandwiches, but not necessarily stuffed to the brim. But for $5 each, how coulud you complain. Tastey, fresh, and delicious! I have no idea how they've held up or what they'd cost now, but I would be willing to adventure down there in a second to recreate the past!

After an hr. (literally) of walking and rewalking every street in the downtown Wall St area, I finally found Ravioli Fair at noon yesterday (liberty and nassau I think). I almost wish I didn't. The old glory is gone---or maybe I was just younger and poorer and totally had no basis of what good food was...the 4 and 5 dollar sandwiches are now 7 bucks...SO not worth it as you could get the same at any generic deli for the most part.
For 14 dollars (7 each), I got their veal Parm sub and their italian sub. The veal parm was below avg--skimpy, not a lot of cheese, and the veal was stringy-- like dry pot roast. Bluck. I gave a lot of it to my dog.
The italian was standard, but really skimpy. Even moreso than I remembered.No sundried tomatoes, which I recalled being a staple on it. I still have half for lunch today. If it was photoworthy, I would have procured a camera (since I don't have a good one), but this was certainly not photoworthy. I will not be going back anytime soon....

lol we gave you the address dude...
thanks, I won't try it out then. The Mexican cart next to Ravioli Fair is kinda good -
LOL I didn't have a specific cross street on Nassau, and doing some further internet research turned up some other intersections I might try...and of course, I'm too stubborn to call the flagship restaurant since there's no fun in that :-) I did enjoy my walk---even if the food was disappointing.

next to 1 Chase Plaza, on Nassau Street :P but all good, yesterday was a nice day for a walk. And your dog made out like a bandit, he got to eat veal. My dog could only be so lucky.
Today at 1 Chase Plaza is that Dine Around Downtown thing that Daniel mentioned, too, if you're back in the 'hood
-
At least I now have a mental map of the downtown area that will hopefully be burned in my mind forever. And my dog eats (gets a taste) of pretty much whatever we eat, so she is VERY VERY spoiled and greedy...as you can see from my profile photo...The veal was nothing to write home about. She much prefers hot dogs, pretzels and filet mignon. LOL
Yeah, I am kicking myself for taking off yesterday rather than today---as the food fair would have been way cooler...but hindsights 20/20, and I would have continued to have dreams of a ravioli fair that is from yesteryear...
-
Yeah I tried it after reading about it here.. the meatball sandwich was decent but I also tasted the chicken parm and was not really into it.
-
Yeah, I'd bet the chicken parm is as bad as the veal parm. I think I'm over ravioli fair forver now. I will venture back for a sam's falafal though.
There used to be a great cart called Ravioli Faire downtown but I can't find it listed anywhere online. It was in the Wall St. area back in the late 1990s. Anyone ever see this cart, and if so, where?
