Those of you patiently waiting for the opening of Kortako, the Korean taco and sandwich place on Nassau (btw. John & Fulton) from the people behind Bon Chon on John, you’re just going to have to wait a little longer. According to a note on Kortako’s Web site, the opening has been delayed until mid-November due to delays in getting inspected. Those half-off coupons you got from Bon Chon will be extended to expire one month after whenever the opening date is. The inside looks ready to serve us some Korean fusion food, so stay tuned for a solid opening date.

Unless you work near or at City Hall or the surrounding area (or are going to court), you’re probably like me and forget about the kiosks near the 1 Centre St. building. The other day when Korean food sounded like an excellent lunch idea, I realized I hadn’t been back to Koki & Vegi since they opened. I was impressed with their bulgogi that cost less than $10 and figured that based on the extreme enthusiasm of the people working there that the bibimbap was going to be pretty good too.

Spring & Broome, and Crisp on Wheels and GO Burger on Hanover Sq. btw. Water & Pearl. There are two more weeks of this Thursday promotion so some of you can plan on leaving your lunch at home.

It took forever to open in a huge space on Wall St., and now it appears that kosher food court Milk Street Cafe could shutter and the finger is being pointed at the Occupy Wall St. protests. According to the story, 21 people have been laid off and the manager says they could be three weeks from closing after only being open for a few months. The prices are a little high, but for a lot of people this was an awesome lunch destination if you were kosher or just vegetarian. Update: It looks like a little publicity helped because, voila, the barriers lining Wall St. were taken down on Wednesday.
