Krave Truck Jersey City

The $5 gourmet doesn't just crawl around Queens, he also visits Jersey City from time to time. His visits always include a stop at the Krave Truck for Korean tacos. Yes, you heard us correctly, Korean Tacos.

Hop off the PATH at Grove Street, take the exit at the back of the train after 5pm on a weekday and you'll see the bright green Krave truck parked on Columbus Drive at the corner of Marin Blvd. We stood online for ten minutes and started to wonder if a food truck was a good idea, find out after the break.

5 Napkin Burger

The missus and I ended up here yesterday after walking almost the length of Steinway Street and developing a crazed, frenetic hunger that has been observed only in the form of lions chasing down zebras in the Serengeti. Uno? Nope. Applebees? No chance. 5N? You know I'm down.

We were lured in by the bait like fish to a worm. $2 sliders and $4 draft beer happy hour. Sold. The sign said "at the bar only," but there were no seats at the bar. The hostess noticed our dismay and asked us if we would like to enjoy the happy hour outside since no seats were available at the bar.

Take the M/R to 36th Street and walk 3 blocks up 38th from Queens Blvd, past Studio Square and onto the deliciousness that awaits you. Do these stand up against the burger titans of the city? Head on past the break to find out.
