We got an opportunity to taste some of Lot 45′s new menu items (including some very fancy cocktails) and it was delightful! They’ve got Djenna food truck parked on the front patio, dishing out French Algerian street food into the wee hours. Go try out some of the tartines ($9 – $10) or the happy hour oysters ($1.50 between 6 and 8 PM Tuesday through Thursday, hey Oyster Week ain’t over till we say it’s over) or the charcuterie boards ($14).

Megg and the Wayfarers, looking so fly.

The chefs of Djenna, hard at work. Djenna is a food truck that’s parked on the patio of Lot 45. They serve French Algerian food, and they pride themselves on well sourced meat and veggies from the Hudson Valley and in-house baked bread.

They offer three different tartines, one of which is the Sabah, with avocado, black eyed peas, radish, cilantro, lime and maldon sea salt.

Lot 45 is located at 411 Troutman St. They’re open from 5 PM to 2 AM Tuesday through Thursday, and 5 Pm to 4 AM Friday and Saturday. Closed Sundays and Mondays.
