The menu sticks to the classics, and that is exactly what the regulars love. Coming right off the train, 7:00 AM sharp, you could expect a hot coffee, muffin, and bagel. Students coming to class early in the morning could enjoy a delicious turkey bacon, egg, and cheese. As the morning rush fades, the lunchtime crowd starts to gather. The go-to order is the chicken over rice for lunch, packed with marinated chicken atop soft, flavorful yellow rice, crisp lettuce, tomatoes, and warm pita bread. Other favorites include lamb over rice, falafel platters, and gyro wraps. What makes Wasi\u2019s special isn\u2019t just the food, it\u2019s the people. Both vendors are sweet, personable, and get to know their regular customers. Prices are relatively cheap, perfect for hungry college students, and perfect for a quick bite after class. The cart\u2019s location right outside the North Building makes it a natural meeting point. On any day, you\u2019ll see students laughing, chatting, or quietly eating a platter before dashing to class. Many students consider a quick stop at this cart a ritual between classes or after long study sessions. In a chaotic city where long lines and packed stores dissuade many students, Wasi\u2019s is a familiar pit stop you can always count on. Wasi\u2019s has earned its place as a true campus landmark and a cherished part of the Hunter College experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-placepress-block-map-location alignwide\" aria-label=\"Interactive Map\" role=\"region\"><figure><div class=\"map-pp\" id=\"placepress-map\" data-lat=\"40.7683107\" data-lon=\"-73.9644060\" data-zoom=\"12\" data-basemap=\"carto_voyager\" data-type=\"single-location\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"map-caption-pp\">695 Park Ave, New York, NY 10065<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"ghost\">By Abhiveer Singh, Armand Surban<br \/>The Upper East Side holds Wasi\u2019s Food Truck, a Halal Cart serving classics such as chicken over rice, lamb over rice, falafel, gyros, shawarma, and kebabs for eager and hungry Hunter College students and faculty.<br \/>Campus: Hunter College<br \/>Professor: Michael Owen Benediktsson<br \/>Location: Hunter College East 69th St. Park Ave.<br \/>References: No references used for location entry<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tucked right outside Hunter College\u2019s North Building entrance stands Wasi\u2019s Food Truck serving both breakfast and lunch foods.
