They'll be serving "rundown", the spicy Jamaican coconut milk sauce served with mackerel (although they'll be serving it with cod.)

A Look Inside Kim “Treats Truck” Ima’s Apartment: The New York Tims real estate section paid a little visit to Treats Truck sweetheart Kim Ima this weekend, giving us an inside look at her second home (the one without wheels and tasty sweets.) I have to say her decorating tastes just endear her to my heart even more!

El Rey Del Sabor Parks on Park: At the end of last month El Rey del Sabor (which operates three Mexican street carts in Midtown) moved one of their carts from 49th and 3rd to Broadway. Well, that spot didn't work out and they've now moved the cart to Park Ave. and 49th Street. So, if you work in the area and want them to stay you might want to go out and support!
