This is the second double stabbing in a week.

I'm familiar with the location in the Transportation Building, but wasn't aware they had multiple outlets.

Halal Guys is a sizable, international chain. Apparently they started as a food cart in NYC and still operate a bunch of the street carts there.

Food isn't bad but I prefer the local versions of the concept. (Chicken and Rice Guys, etc.)

They started as food carts right at the Midtown Hilton on 6th Ave in NYC, 2-3 blocks north of Rock Center / Radio City.

The food was better before the commercialization but it's still decent now.
