Midtown Lunch

Call it stoner food, call it late night grub, call it diner fare. Whatever terminology you want to use, I think it’s safe to categorize all of it as munchies, no? And the Munchie Mobile is not just a generic name for a place to get something to eat. The new purple truck we told you about a few weeks back is offering a wide array of this particular type of food – burgers, grilled cheese, fried stuff, and even pancakes!

When I first saw the menu, I was worried they might stretch themselves too thin. Trying to offer so many different options from a truck often results in uninspired and messy food. Would these guys turn out to be the food truck version of a diner?

I noticed a brand new food truck in the East Village this weekend. I didn’t have time to stop and order anything, but I grabbed a quick photo. Their menu looks pretty darn delicious (although maybe a little too all over the place). It’s comprised of burgers, fried stuff (pickles, mozzarella sticks, oreos, etc.), grilled cheese, and pancakes (!?!) Seems this weekend was their first on the streets and they spent it downtown and in Brooklyn. According to their Twitter feed, they’re parking on 57th and 8th Avenue today. This is great news, since I think we could all use a Wake and Bake burger (bacon, egg, and cheese) right about now. Early adopters leave us comments below.
