Luke’s Lobster

Luke’s Lobster was created by a young man named Luke Holden. Luke was a young boy with a dream – to serve the masses fresh lobster, crab, and shrimp. Disillusioned with the cost-cutting maneuvers of so-called gourmet restaurants, Luke made it his goal to cut out the middle man and sell freshly caught lobster straight to the consumer. Today you find Luke’s Lobster locations all over the city, where you can order his signature open bun special with either lobster, crab, or shrimp seasoned generously with Luke’s signature spices.

Halal Guys

One of the most popular food trucks in all of New York has to be the Halal Guys. Reviewers rave about their culinary delicacies as if they was a gift to humankind. Their signature chicken over rice is one of the greatest food feats they have to offer. With their yellow shirts proudly proclaiming, “We Are Different,” you’ll come to find out it’s true. While the lines stretch all the way down the block at times, you will soon see that it is well worth the wait.

Then you add your protein, of which you have four options to choose from; bulgogi, chicken, pork or tofu. Top it off with pico or cheese and finally add one of their 4 sauces ranging from Korilla to k’lla. After you have your fill, you’ll be back asking for seconds.
