Around the corner from Sole di Capri (aka, Capri Caffe), there is another source of cheap lunchtime pasta called Tre Sorelle. Based on the number of people I saw coming and going at prime lunch time, this place is popular with office workers and people such as myself taking their food to go for a little desk dining. This could be because of the extensive lunch menu that includes personal size brick oven pizzas, pastas and platters of Italian standbys for $10 or less. Perhaps the best deal on the menu is the pasta of which you can choose from five varieties for $6.95 which is a good price for this area.

I’m a little bit late in trying out the new source of falafel in Tribeca, Nish Nush, on the corner of Reade St. and Church. After reading one glowing review, and walking by and seeing indeed how nice this shop looked, curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to know if it was true that this place was serving falafel that could be compared with Taim‘s. After eating there once, I’m mentally kicking myself for waiting more than a couple of days to check this place out.

In an article in the New York Times published on Sunday, they give us the inside scoop on how many restaurants and the people who work at them are faring after hurricane Sandy. The verdict? It’s maybe not quite as bad as after Sept. 11, but close. A lot of people who work in restaurants that are still closed or are losing business due to a lack of phone or Internet service have been laid off permanently or temporarily. Many businesses are surviving on a cash only system, which as we all know is not ideal when a lot of people only carry cards or order food on Seamless.
I know some of these inconveniences myself because my office has been effectively shuttered since the hurricane, which is why there haven’t been as many posts on the site as normal. I find out many food-related things just by walking around, and it’s hard to keep tabs on what’s happening downtown when you’re working from home in another borough.
When I mentioned that L&L Hawaiian BBQ on Fulton St. (at Gold) had started serving Chinese food from a steam table, luncher rodalpho commented on his favorite item from the establishment:
I haven’t tried the buffet because I generally don’t leave my office for lunch, but I have sampled most of L&L’s menu. Skip the plate lunches, the sushi, and the Chinese food. L&L has one (and only one) truly great item on its menu– the BBQ beef sandwich. I strongly recommend it.
That sounded like a strong enough endorsement for me to go get myself a beef sandwich.
