Some people swear that the Halal cart on the corner of 53rd and 6th has the best chicken and rice in the city. There is nearly always a line, and it seems an impostor cart has set up shop on the opposite corner just to confuse NYers and tourists who are not in the know. So, of course we had to investigate...
The chicken and rice was pretty good, although I'm not sure it was all that different from the chicken and rice I've had elsewhere. It didn't quite live up to the hype, but I may be back for another plateful someday. Following dinner we headed to Momofuku milk bar for the famed "cereal milk softserve." My understanding of the cereal milk ice cream was that it was designed to taste like the milk that is left in your bowl after you finish eating your cereal. In my mind this meant milk with a light sweetness to it from the cereal. What I got was a slightly salty and buttery ice cream :( Apparently, for the base of this concoction they toast cornflakes with a little bit of butter and salt; thus, it tastes buttery and salty. I had about six or seven bites and then threw it away. Sorry Momofuku, not for me.
