The King has arrived

Hungry Lion — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 18:37:28 +0000

I don’t know if you have, but I certainly have missed the old Taco Bell at 125th. In fact, there’s always been a noticeable dearth in the fast food options near Columbia University. But, for those that have had a hankering beyond KFC and McDonald’s, there’s a new Burger King at 3451 Broadway (around 139th [...]

Serendipity Closed for Grossness

Hungry Lion — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 07:10:42 +0000

It seems that the popular New York dessert restaurant, Serendipity 3, has been closed. No more frozen hot chocolate and over priced novelties. How sad. Seems the restaurant failed two health inspections in one month. Inspectors found rodent and fly infestation as well as conditions conducive to pest infestation. Oh, did I mention that there [...]

An Open Letter to Sammy’s Halal

Hungry Lion — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 21:10:45 +0000

Several weeks ago, we reported the arrival of Sammy’s Halal, a chicken and rice cart from 73rd and Broadway in Queens, here in Morningside Heights. In a truly bizarre coincidence, the cart disappeared the day we reported its arrival. Several visits to the original Sammy’s Halal and a few phone calls to one of the [...]
