Go to Tompkins square Park there's often food in the middle of the day.....or go sit in astor square with a hungry sign. Ask people for their left overs. The mission is further south like the bowery idk what time they feed it's more blocks south on the Lower east side. Socks. Forget time of all this. They don't always have food at Tompkins I forget which days but there are permahomeless people there you can ask
