Wafels & Dinges

Yet another one of my last days down in the Financial District, and the Wafels & Dinges truck finally showed up!  I was so excited to get to try them finally before I left for good.  (Actually, I’m pretty sure this was my last day ever down there, so it was excellent timing.)  I wound up having a long conversation with one of the guys working there while they made my wafel fresh… they were both very cool and fun to talk to, but of course, held my wafel hostage!  Yes… come to me, my preciousss A BACON [...]

BonChon on John

I’ve tried BonChon a bunch of times but always at parties or get togethers where I haven’t taken photographs and haven’t had to deal with the idiocy I’ve heard is involved with ordering from BonChon.  Besides, I was never so in love with the chicken anyway.  Blurry photograph of the menu.  It was super packed on the 2nd day it was open and the line was moving super slowly.  In fact, when I was 3rd on line, I realized why it was moving so slowly: the man at the cash register was answering the phone and taking those orders before [...]

Urban Lobster Shack

I’ve written about Urban Lobster Shack before, but I went there before my departure from the Financial District one last time to check out their new lunch special – $10 for a lobster roll and a Caesar salad.The lobster roll with container of cole slaw and Caesar dressing.
Caesar salad, which was alright, pretty standard, nothing amazing.  The dressing was really flavorful though – very garlicky and creamy, which was pretty cool.  Not sure if they make it themselves, but I wasn’t complaining.  The lobster roll, however… well, last time I’d complained that it was missing that sweet lobster taste.  This [...]

Burger Burger (Delivery)

One of those cold, yucky days around Christmas, a coworker and I were talking about lunch.  I asked her what she was going to eat, and we tossed ideas back and forth until we both decided to order out and eat at our desks (we sit next to each other).  We chose Burger Burger and quickly made up our minds.  I wanted to be bad, so I opted to start with jalapeno poppers.  For $5, I got.. five poppers.  Ummm.   They were good, don’t get me wrong, but at $1 each?  I think I’d pass next time.  Cheezy, gooey, oozy, [...]

Baoguette

Being a frequent patron and supporter of the banh mi cart, I admit I was interested and a bit disturbed by the news of Baoguette opening nearby.  Sure it would be great to finally try Baoguette – which has received many raves from friends of mine – but then… it just seems like unnecessary competition for the cart.  Sad for them, I hope they do alright… Outside Baoguette is a sign that explains what comprises a banh mi.  I opted for the regular Baoguette.  Please note that at this downtown location, it is $6, not $5 like at [...]
