There is a new food cart pod downtown: The Midtown Beer Garden.
Well, it’s an old food cart pod, possible the original food cart pod, and it was pretty gritty to the point that I didn’t like to go there.
The lot has been cleaned up, repaved, improved utilities, seating added, restroom added, a stage, and a tent thing with heat lamps for winter.
It is fabulous. The only bummer is that it’s a good walk from the office so not worth it in bad weather. But I went there a bunch of times this summer.
There used to be a trio of carts up the street from the office. There was a lady doing traditional Mexican food. Really good. I went there all the time.
One day a new cart shows up next to hers.
Mexican food.
The next time I went there I said, “What’s up with that?”
She said, “I don’t know. There’s not enough customers for two carts. I’m talking to the landlord.”
A month went by and she was gone. I refused to even try the new cart. Another couple months went by and he was gone, too.
