A Sandwich a Day: P.W.C.D. Roll at Biryani Cart

In addition to the delicately spiced rice dish from which it takes its name, midtown Halal cart Biryani Cart (which, yes, we love quite a bit) offers up several very respectable kati rolls: addictive wraps of meats, vegetables, and eggs stuffed inside buttery griddled paratha, a stretchy, whole wheat flatbread, or leaner roti. We tried the strangely titled P.W.C.D. Roll ($3), a vegetarian option stuffed with scrambled eggs and a mound of creamy, perfectly cooked cubed potatoes. More

Rice Roll Showdown: Who Makes the Better Rice Roll on Elizabeth and Hester in Chinatown?

If you walk down Elizabeth Street towards Hester Street in Chinatown map, you could think, just for a minute, that you're seeing double. Or maybe there's a crack in the wall between parallel universes and you're getting a glimpse of the other side.* But yes, you are seeing straight. There's a rice roll cart (a lot like this) on the Northwest corner of the intersection—and a seemingly identical cart (down to the boxes and tarp that hold it together) on the Northeast corner. Last week, Robyn and I set out to see which cart should be crowned as the top rice roll on Elizabeth and Hester. More

Why Aren't There Any Night Markets in New York?

At Serious Eats HQ, we've been talking about night markets a lot of late. We're pretty stoked about the Lucky Rice Night Market on May 5th, and we had a good time at last weekend's Taiwan Night Market. We've even seen some night market-like sights on Roosevelt Avenue in Corona, with communities gathered under sodium lamps to eat tacos at trucks and carts along the street. And the Dekalb Market in Brooklyn has made some definite suggestions of events combining night food and culture. But we don't really have night markets in this city, which is a big shame, as they're pretty much the most fun you can have while eating. More

A Midnight Street Food Tour of Queens with Jeff Orlick

The 3+ mile stretch of Roosevelt Avenue in Queens between Sunnyside and Flushing is home to some of the best food you can eat in New York, plenty of it right there on the street. $10 will buy you a meal (or two) (or three) from street vendors hailing from, well, everywhere. You may need a guide to get the most out of your food crawl under the 7 train; English comes and goes in Queens, and there are plenty of mediocre food options among the exceptional. But that's where Jeff Orlick comes in. More

Tortas Neza in Corona: Of Fútbol, Family, and Good Food

On a sunny afternoon in Queens, Galdino Molinero invited me into his truck to photograph the making of an epic sandwich. He's the owner of Corona mainstay Tortas Neza, which serves some of the best sandwiches on this side of the Rio Grande; a clear standout in stye and substance from the mass of antojitos carts and taco trucks parked all along Roosevelt Avenue.
