Slightly off-topic, but shovel, I know where you're coming from: G of E has slid waaaay downhill. The hygiene at the Montague Street branch is beyond sketch -- the nasty-ometer is pegged all the way to the right. Oh, and the soup guy cart at 6th and 52nd is pretty great.

I LOVE Empanada Guy! I used to be skittish about buying food from an Igloo cooler at 3am, but after my 24 hrs of projectile vomiting from the Garden of Eden salad bar (23rd st - they determined it was probably "outdated feta," and offered me a free lunch!), I just don't care. Besides, he (or is it his mother?) probably exercises more care and caution in the preparation of his product than any chain.

Empanada guy... ha, I forgot about him. The joy his greasy little bundles of joy used to bring me when he'd walk into a bar at 3 in the morning!

I hope the dosa guy in Washington Square Park gets a Vendy, the guy across from the Law school... If you haven't been there, you should really check it out. Delicious and cheap.
