The rice noodle rolls on Elizabeth at Hester deserves time in the spotlight. Interestingly, there are two carts directly opposite one another -" both delicious, both viable options.
English is an afterthought here, so don't go armed with questions. Here's all you need to know: you want the minced pork roll, add the egg, and slather on the Sriracha and soy.
Don't even think about skipping the cilantro and onion, or traveling more than a block before popping open your Styrofoam box of yum. These gelatinous beauties lose their luster by the minute, so order and eat. Also, take note that the times listed are approximates - the rice carts don't play by traditional time rules, making them even more desirable to foodie fiends.

New York Local Expert
- Street Food, Best Value: "The cart on the east side of the street is marginally better, but both are delicious."
- Best for Street Food Because: It'll make you feel like you've stepped into Asia and out of NYC.
- Recommended as Best Value Because: Part of the allure is that it's a diamond in the rough. The other is that it's cheap, easy and oh-so-good.
