The Tantalizing Smell of Calories

Bit of a hiatus. I had to graduate, celebrate my 21st, and trek out west to Wisconsin. Regardless of where I am though, I can always hear the city calling me home.

My mum is working in the city all this week so to cut down on transportation cost I'm staying with her at the Hilton on 53rd and 6th. Being here, especially on this particular corner in midtown, there is one thing I cannot escape from...Halal carts.

Ah, the good old Halal cart. You can smell them from a dozen blocks away and when you're hungry that scent is downright tantallizing! Every time I go for a jaunt I seem to notice more and more of them poping out of the pavement like daisys. That lamb or chicken (or both) laid out on a bed of lettuce and rice smothered with white sauce is a dagger to any diet. But who can resist...

Regardless, the best one is on 53rd and 6th (or so said this teammate of mine I used to know). Now you have to know which side of the street to go on because there are two carts: Amazing Halal Cart of the Divine Deliciousness and its eveil twin, Cart of the Tourist. The one you want to go to is on the south-east side of the block. On the weekends a line a block long will develop, but it's definitely worth the wait, but be careful, your stomach can only take so much!
