Nooshi’s liquor license placard amendment says:
“Applicant requests expansion of Sidewalk Café to seat 50 patrons.”
I wish Greek Deli’s outdoor cafe would expand too but I’ll take it!

“It’s true! Swing by to say your goodbyes, because we [sadly] will be closing our doors on May 31st!”

Thanks to Meghan for sending word: “they’re coming to 814 H St NE! Loved their food cart in NYC.” The Halal Guys’ website says:
“From humble beginnings as a New York City hot dog cart to a world-renowned international restaurant chain, The Halal Guys story is the quintessential American Dream. The Halal Guys is defining a new, thriving segment for the restaurant industry: American Halal Food!
The Halal Guys legend began in 1990, when the three founding partners opened up a hot dog cart on West 53rd & 6th Avenue in New York City. As business grew, they recognized a huge demand from Muslim cab drivers looking for a halal food meal. That is when the famous platter of chicken and gyro over rice was born. And let’s not forget about the famous white and red sauces!
Fast-forward 25 years, five carts, two New York City restaurants, and millions of diverse customers served, The Halal Guys is growing yet again. Fans no longer have to be in NYC to experience The Halal Guys as they look to share American Halal Food all over the country and the world.”
Check out their menu here.
