Exciting news for fans of street meat: Astoria's famous Fares "Freddy" Zeidaies (AKA The King of Falafel) is opening a new cart in Midtown today. The menu is smaller than the one at his original stand, but it includes the shawarma and falafel sandwiches that helped him win Vendor of the Year at the 2010 Vendy Awards. Catch him today at the corner of 53rd and Park. [Midtown Lunch]
