time to dust off this old thread...also found this other older thread but not as useful:

I was visiting NYC this weekend and I just had cart food from 6th avenue and 53rd street which is an institution...not once when I drove past there did I not see a loooong lineup and I just went tonight and enjoyed the most amazing mixed lamb and chicken rice platter EVAR. Got a chicken sandwich for the wife and that was amazing too. Their sauce is awesome, but hot sauce is way more potent than I've ever had...go easy on it.
Also in this trip (NYC):
- Katz's Deli - delicious pastrami sandwich
- Carnegie Deli - also very good pastrami sandwich
- Halal Food Cart at 53rd st & 6th ave
- Max Brenner - dessert/chocolatier
San Juan, Puerto Rico
- can't remember the name of this Japanese resto, right near the Intercontinental San Juan Resort (absolutely amazing--another recommendation thread required here)...there was a jap resto right at the hotel and another one closer to the hotel, but this specific one was absolutely the best salmon teriyaki and FRESHEST sushi I've EVER had...nothing but young crowd, terrible service, jam packed (while both other restos were empty) and the music was the latest house and trance!!! EDM!!! wtf. Chinese waitress kept speaking to me in Spanish, lol, even when I ordered in English.

I'm sad to say that I'm a little ignorant in my understanding of Halal. I get that it's Muslim and Jew friendly, that's obvious, but what is the reasoning? The animal is killed/prepared in a special way that makes it acceptable to eat? |
