Good news if you need a break from the regular burgers and fries at Shake Shack as today through Oct. 21 is Shacktoberfest. This means you’ll be able to get currywurst, two kinds of bratwurst, a burger topped with a griddled cheddar brat, and two special concretes including one involving chocolate truffle cookie dough. As if this weren’t enough, you can top all that off with a giant beer in a special stein. Sounds like the perfect fuel for a post-lunch nap! Photo courtesy of Schaller & Weber.

Yet another chain will be making inroads in NYC, with Roti Mediterranean Grill planning to open at Maiden Lane & Pearl St. in January of 2013. There are already locations in Chicago and Washington D.C., and guess what? It’s a build-your-own lunch model involving pita, laffa, salad or rice with various meats, vegetables and sauce options a few pre-configured options. This isn’t too surprising since the chain was started by a former Chipotle chairman. They hope to open 10 to 12 new locations in NYC in the next couple of years and the Financial District seems to be a starting point for ambitious chains with Potbelly and others like GRK and Hot Clay Oven having similar ambitions. I don’t know, I guess this is better than getting another salad place, but what do you Lunch’ers think of getting another build your own lunch chain?

Yes, we all love the Taim Mobile truck, but now we have a constant source of falafel, sabich and hummus with Taim announcing on Twitter last night that today it’s opening the doors of its second brick and mortar location on Spring St. (at Mulberry). The store has a larger menu than the truck serving three kinds of falafel, platters, a bunch of sides and salads, smoothies and desserts. Whether or not you’re a meat eater, this is good news for the area although nearby Hoomoos Asli isn’t too shabby either. It never hurts to have more than one source of good falafel.

Whenever a craving for something tasty and vegetarian hits, the usual suspects flow into my brain, namely any number of carts serving great falafel. Sometimes I want more than fried chickpea orbs, and the other day I decided to revisit Pita Express on Ann St. (btw. Nassau & B’way) because I remembered I’d had a phenomenal chicken pita sandwich there last year and had vowed to go back to try the delicious array of Israeli salads and dips behind glass at the counter. The glatt kosher restaurant wasn’t as busy as normal but that may have been because it was Friday heading into a long weekend. I ended up ordering a vegetarian sampler platter and despite telling myself I wouldn’t be able to eat everything and still function after lunch, I did anyway and it was worth it.
