Potbelly Opening Third FiDi Location Next Week: At this point, Potbelly Sandwich Shop and Lenny's seem to be in a race of bread and cold cuts to take over the Financial District. We got word that the newest Potbelly location on Fulton St. (btw. Nassau & William) will be opening Oct. 22. at 11 a.m. Now if there's a huge line at the Maiden Lane location, you can hoof it over a few blocks to this one.

When The Hummus & Pita Co. opened its second NYC location downtown I wondered what their crowning glory would be. I had an enjoyable chicken shawarma sandwich where the meat was almost outshined by the vegetables stuffed in alongside. Based on the strength of that meal, I decided to stop into the shop on Chambers St. (btw. Broadway & Church) for round 2. Once again, I was seduced by a spinning cylinder of meat. Read more »

Do not go to Shorty’s if you are on a diet. I mean, if you are trying to watch your girlish figure, a cheese steak is probably not at the top of your list of things to eat for lunch. The shop on Pearl St. (btw. Coenties Slip & Broad) has salads and some “lighter” hoagies on the menu, but for me the danger lies in knowing that Shorty’s has some really great fries to go along with your meat, cheese and bread gut-bomb. Did I mention these fries involve romano cheese?

There’s bubble tea to be had at the bottom of Manhattan, with Vivi Bubble Tea opening a small shop right next to Yips on Beaver St. (btw. Broad & New). Much like the outlet on John St., there was a line outside, perhaps made up of people fresh off a visit to Yips’ buffet.

I can’t really think of many places where you can get a juice smoothie with a side of chicken nuggets and fries (that’s not McDonald’s). Sammi’s Nutrition House truck fills that void, allowing you to add nutrients to your body with fruit juice, and then get your recommended daily allowance of sodium with a plate of street meat. I noticed that since the truck first appeared in the Financial District they had added some other specialties to the menu including chicken tikka and biryani and was curious what they were serving up.
