you had me at halal....

i have been to some really nice restaurants in new york city... but time and time again, i keep going back to this place:
www.53rdand6th.com

yes, it really is a food cart... halal food, to be exact. and yes, the website is fan based! i love new york city.

seriously, it's worth the 20 minute wait in the freezing cold. there's always a line at this place. hmmm... seems to be a pattern here with me waiting for food. which is usually not the case. but, for $5 the chicken and lamb combo plate is worth every bite. the savory chicken and seasoned lamb over rice, salad and wedges of pita are absolutely heavenly. oh and don't forget the "white sauce"... no one seems to know what it is but it is damn good. i like to mix some of the hot sauce into the white sauce and pour it over my platter. YUM YUM YUM. their gyro is yummy, tooooo!

i went there last night with my BF and wow... i was impressed, yet again! (we actually like to take our food to the rockefeller plaza basement and usually watch the skaters. but last night, maybe due to the rain, no one was out.)
