Jerk Pan Foodtruck

"Jerk Pan is a Caribbean food truck parked on the corner of 48th Street and Park Avenue almost every day. It’s right next to the J.P. Morgan building, so if you don’t want to retreat immediately back to your desk, you can go sit next to a bunch of people in suits, who are all talking into AirPods, smoking cigarettes, and eyeing your jerk chicken platter. Jerk Pan serves an $8 “mini” lunch special which gets you a small styrofoam box filled with things like oxtail or jerk chicken and rice and beans. If they ask you if you want gravy, you need to say yes - it’s for your own good. There are also medium and large platter options that cost around $11-13, and come with a few different containers for sides like cabbage, greens, and macaroni salad." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren

"Here are two Midtown rules to live by: avoid walking with Airpods over a subway grate, and always say yes when the person inside of the Jerk Pan truck asks if you want gravy. This Caribbean food truck right next to the J.P. Morgan building makes excellent platters of oxtail or jerk chicken and rice and beans, all covered in a salty delicious gravy. We usually opt for the $8 “mini” lunch special which gets you a small styrofoam box filled to the brim, but there are also medium and large platter options that cost around $11-$13, and come with a few different containers for sides like cabbage, greens, and macaroni salad." - hannah albertine
