Finding something to eat for lunch in New York can sometimes be an overwhelming experience. I'm not very adventurous so I usually wait until someone recommends a place. Any of you who have spent time in New York will know that sometimes the best food can come from a little cart on the street.

Street vendors are everywhere in the city and while some you wouldn't go near if they were giving out the food for free, others are so good that people will line up around the corner. One of these carts where people line up is the Hallo Berlin cart on 54th St. and 5th Ave. It's run by some German guys and they serve up the best sausage, kraut and potatoes I've ever had.

I went yesterday with a co-worker and for $11 you can get the "Barack Obama" or "Democracy Special" which includes a choice of two different sausages, a Bavarian meatball, potato salad, red and white kraut. and a roll. It's probably way too much food, but I ate it all anyway.

So if you are ever in the mood for some excellent German food and you're in midtown, check out the Hallo Berlin cart on 54th street at 5th avenue between 11:30am and 3:30pm Monday through Friday. Look for the Lufthansa umbrella.
