RANDOM STREETCART REVIEW I

So I haven’t been anywhere really fancy recently. 

I’ve been to work. It’s relatively fancy, sure, but I haven’t had a chance to sit and enjoy the ambiance and savor the food. What I’ve eaten there has been scarfed down hurredly before the next wave of orders hits. Nope, as for me - I’m a workin’ man, ain’t got no time to do no fancy reviews of no high falutin’ places these days.

So here’s a review of the Food Cart in Court Square on Jackson Ave. between the G/E station and the 7 Station:


First off, the location is pretty stellar. They’ve parked themselves right along the sidewalk connecting the two stations, and anyone who’s commuting from Brooklyn to Queens on the G train who doesn’t want to take the grand tour through manhattan pretty much has to stop there. So for location I give them an A+

As for food, they’ve got some cooked food - pretty standard hallal/kosher/no-pork whatever stuff. Trkey bacon and sausage, eggs, blah blah blah. What really calls to you when you walk by is the baked goods arranged in the glass display case in the front. They’re right out there, you can grab some and be on your way in less than 30 seconds. If you’re stopping at a stand like this on your way to work - it’s the baked goods you’re looking for.

The Doughnuts are a little misshapen, at least the one I tried was, but it was a good 50% bigger than your average Dunkin’ Donuts faire. It was more in that style, as opposed to say a Krispie Kreme type doughnut. They did it pretty decently, and honestly it works in a pinch.

The glazed doughnuts are pretty good as well, they have them in both traditional rings and larger cigars. If you’re really hungry go for the Cigar, It’s an amazing size for the dollar.

In terms of other baked goods, they have a variety of croissants, bagels, and the like. The Chocolate Croissant is filled with a semi-sweet chocolate and it too is pretty decent. My favorite to this point, though, has got to be the Pistachio Chocolate Cigar. Like a croissant, but stretched out, filled with pistachio, and drizzled with chocolate.

Yum.

So there it is, and that’s my update for the moment: a review of a food cart. If you’re ever there stop by and grab something.
