Desi Food Truck Finds Permanent Parking Spot In Soho

The Desi Food Truck seemed to flit in and out of the Twitter Tracker and would occasionally make its way to the Financial District. Now it seems they’ve found a daily spot at Soho Square Park at 6th Ave. and Spring St., according to their Twitter feed. They were kicked out of Midtown and tried parking in the FiDi permanently but as you all know, there are a ton of trucks vying for a small number of spots every day. The food is pretty decent and there aren’t a lot of Indian options in that area, so it seems to be a win-win situation for those who can’t make it over to Hudson St. or down to the Lent Space lot to visit trucks.

Dumpling House Has A Solid $8 Lunch Special

Some days you just need some greasy Americanized Chinese food with a heaping side of rice, am I right? This happened to me the other day and while mentally going through my catalogue of nearby places to procure some sauced meat I remembered Dumpling House, which is easy to forget since it’s in that weird one-block alley between Maiden Lane & Liberty St. I’d been there once after it replaced Win Won, and appalled at the crappy and expensive dumplings I got, although I shouldn’t have been surprised. This time I did as everyone else who goes here does and got the $8 lunch special that includes a protein, rice and soup or a drink.
