There was a hot tip on Twitter yesterday (are you following us, by the way?) that the former home of Backyard Chicken on Pearl St. btw. John & Fulton is turning into another branch of Mooncake Foods which has awesome Asian sandwiches and dishes, almost all for $10 or less. I’m hoping they’re also expanding into a bordering storefront because that Backyard Chicken shop was tiny like a glorified kiosk. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more!

Do you ever take a look at your lunch and wish you would have bought a coffee to go along with it? That was the feeling I had after unwrapping the loaded knish I got during the first day of business at Long Island Bagel Cafe on Fulton St. (btw. Nassau & William). They were still training staff so they were giving 50% off your order. I took this as an opportunity to double dip and get both a bagel sandwich (for a later review), and to find out what was up with the loaded knish section of the menu. Basically, I ordered a handheld nap.

It seems like stores devoted to beverages are the latest trend coming to the Financial District. This awning for Vivi Bubble Tea was spotted on John St. near Nassau, and it’s a second downtown location of a Taiwanese chain that’s also on Bayard St. in Chinatown. I’d have to say, this excites me more than the Magic Mix Juicery bringing its $10 juices to Fulton St.

When word came of a pop up in Downtown Lunch territory from Smorgasburg barbeque favorite Mighty Quinn’s, I put it on my “to eat” list. It wasn’t on there for long as I hit it up late last week to try it out before the BBQ purveyor is replaced at the beginning of February. It’s a short menu on offer, but if you like smoked and barbequed meats, you may want to walk a couple of extra blocks for lunch.
