In a city where a Halal food cart exists on nearly every corner, where can you go to find the best one? In this episode of the excellent Operation $5 Lunch series from our friends at Thrillist, watch as host Prez tries the gyro at Sammy's Halal Food in Greenwich Village, one cart which has won a Vendy Award, one of the City's most coveted food awards.

Gyros are a classic meal that you can get around New York City at almost any time on any given day. They're cheap, delicious, and hit the spot (especially after a long night). But there is one place in NYC that is getting all the recommendations and on this episode of Operation $5 Lunch we're going to take you there -- Sammy's Halal food truck in the West Village.

The annual MTA Genius Transit Challenge is a widespread competition open to competitors internationally seeking innovative solutions to modernize and improve the reliability of the New York City subway system in three main categories: Signaling, Communications, and Subway Cars.

First opened in 1904, the New York City Subway is among the largest and busiest public transit systems in the world. Today, there are 472 stations spanning 665 miles of track, serving nearly 6 million riders a day— that’s 70 percent of all subway rides in the United States. The system offers 24/7 service spanning four boroughs, which has enabled New York to grow and thrive for over a century.

Yet as ridership has soared, changes to subway infrastructure have not kept pace. If we are to meet the modern needs of today’s and tomorrow’s New Yorkers and keep the region competitive for decades to come, we must bring our subway system into the 21st century. We are calling on the greatest minds from around the world to deliver the next generation of mass transit to New York.

The winners were just announced, so check out each of these great ideas below!

Good morning! Wishing you a happy Saturday, March 10th, 2018 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.
