damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Sammy's Halal yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
New York Street Food's halal-cart guide flags Sammy's Halal as the 2006 Vendy Cup winner, the city's top honor for street-food carts, decided by a public vote judging quality and popularity — a distinction that has kept demand steady at the cart for nearly two decades (New York Street Food, newyorkstreetfood.com).
The cart runs 24 hours a day at the 73rd Street and Broadway corner in Jackson Heights, a format built to absorb round-the-clock foot traffic from the nearby transit hub rather than concentrate diners into a single dinner rush (New York Street Food, newyorkstreetfood.com).
