Food-cart fave Hallo Berlin Express opens on 9th near 50th (Eating in Translation via Midtown Lunch)
Hallo Berlin Express has seats for about 30 diners and elbow-benders, if they squeeze in tight. The menu isn't quite as broad as at the larger Hallo Berlin, on Tenth Ave., but unlike the famous food cart near Fifth, Hallo Berlin Express prepares schnitzel, spaetzle, soup, and German fish sandwiches.

Ex-Del Posto chef not the only big name linked to JFK Terminal 5 food projects (Grub Street)
A source close to the Aero Nova project tells us Ladner isn’t the only Manhattan chef heading to the JetBlue terminal. This food-court whisperer is saying that some of the talent behind Balthazar may be in with a bistro concept, the STK folks could be working their expected angle, and someone from Tía Pol might be bringing tapas to the party
