There are a lot of trucks selling Korean food fused with other cuisines like tacos, sliders and even falafel, so it was kind of refreshing when I looked at the menu at the Bob & Jo truck and saw that it was pretty straightforward. Yes, there are baguette sandwiches but otherwise you’ll find rice platters, bibimbap and japchae with traditional meats or vegetables. They’ve only recently been parking in the Financial District one day a week, usually on Tuesday at Coenties Slip & Water, with occasional forays into Soho but Midtown contributors have already extensively sampled the menu and since it looked pretty good I decided to give the truck an ML: Downtown review.

Milk Truck Has A New Salad Topped With A Grilled Cheese: On today's ML Downtown Twitter Tracker...Phil's Steaks is at Water & John, Mexicue's at Water & Broad, Our Heros has onion crusted chicken at Wall & Water, Sweetery's at Hudson & King and Desi Food Truck and Bongo Brothers are at Old Slip & Water. The WFC lot has Frites N Meats, Red Hook Lobster, Taim, Andy's Italian Ice and Milk Truck which has a new salad with a grilled cheese sandwich on top. I think we can all get behind that.

Unlike some of the steakhouses or fancy places in Midtown, we in the lowest part of Manhattan don’t get in on many $10 or under lunch time deals. Well, for the remaining three Mondays in May, you can get a steakburger at The Palm’s Tribeca location on West St. (btw. Warren & Chambers) for $8.37 during lunchtime with this coupon. It’s in honor of National Hamburger Month and amazingly you have the choice of five different burgers AND it comes with fries.

It’s A Pizza Reopened, Neon Signs And All: Breathe a sigh of relief, those of you who frequent It's A Pizza on John St. They were open again yesterday afternoon following two shutters by the Department of Health in the past four months for different reasons. If that doesn't bother you, then perhaps you should go get a celebratory slice?

If you work in the Financial District and have a craving for kati rolls where do you turn? Up until last week I thought the only options were a couple of carts at Liberty & Broadway – Bombay Biryany and Biryani House – where you can get street meat chicken or lamb gyro put into paratha with standard street cart sauces. The price is right at $5 or $6 for two of them, but they weren’t anything special, and I’d rather get the namesake dish or street meat from either of these carts.
Profiled Lunch’er Yury asked where to get the best kati rolls downtown, and all of the suggestions came from Murray Hill or Greenwich Village where they’re more abundant. I remembered seeing kati rolls listed on the menu at Bombay’s on Pearl St. (btw. Coenties & Broad) but hadn’t got around to actually eating one. Well, I finally did, and I don’t know if my expectations were really low, but the chicken tikka one I tried got me all kinds of excited.
