//The line

CBS New York reports that Midtown office workers line up at Biryani Cart's street cart for lunch, a testament to owner Meru Sikder's decade-plus reputation built on his $6 chicken biryani, per CBS New York.

The cart's credibility comes from its back-to-back People's Choice Award wins at the 2008 and 2009 Vendy Awards, which CBS New York cites as the draw that keeps lunchtime crowds returning even as newer carts compete for the same corner.
