Tips
Here are some tips for enjoying the Halal Cart at 47th and 8th in New York City:
1. **Timing**: Visit during off-peak hours to avoid long lines, especially late at night when it gets busier.
2. **Menu Familiarity**: Familiarize yourself with the menu options—look for classic dishes like chicken or lamb over rice, gyros, and falafel.
3. **Order Size**: Portions are generous; consider sharing if you’re not very hungry.
4. **Sauces**: Experiment with the white sauce and hot sauce, but start with a little; the hot sauce can be quite spicy!
5. **Cash Payment**: Although some vendors accept cards, it’s often quicker and easier to pay with cash.
6. **Check for Customizations**: Don’t hesitate to ask for modifications, such as extra vegetables or omitting certain sauces.
7. **Takeaway**: Enjoy your meal in nearby Bryant Park or find a spot to people-watch while you eat.
