"The Halal Guys might be the most famous food cart in the city. Started as a hot dog cart in the 1990s, they pivoted to selling halal food to Muslim taxi drivers, who had few food options. “Lamb over rice,” recommends Harney without hesitation. “White and red sauce.” Halal Guys carts can be found all around the city, with most still in Midtown (as well as around the country)." - carla thomas
