Fauzia's Heavenly Delights
This popular food cart in Concourse Village may not look like much from afar, but despite initial appearances, the Caribbean-inspired food is superb. There is a limited supply of meat entrees, so make sure to arrive at the cart no later than one o'clock for lunch. There are choices for vegetarians, such as spinach and lentils, which are equally as delicious as their meat counterparts. Grab a few entrees and head to nearby Franz Sigel Park for a picnic and a leisurely walk.
