New York Street Food

For some reason, we’ve never been to Kwik Gourmet on 47th St just west of Park Ave. They are the little brother to Kwik Meal on 45th St & 6th Ave, who are 2-time Vendy Award Finalists, but every time we’re in the area, there are so many food trucks on 47th St that we pass Kwik Gourmet by.

Not yesterday. There were at least 8 food trucks in the immediate area, but we stopped at Kwik Gourmet and ordered grilled shrimp over rice. The menu said $9, but we were charged $9.50 when it arrived. Oh well, that’s 50 cents less into the tip jar.

Not the nicest weather out, but it is Friday. Fridays are tough to beat (unless you’re Saturday or Sunday).

Lots of great events this weekend including the Passport To Taiwan in union Square and this month’s Prospect Park Food Truck Rally.

As always, check our Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the last minute. Read the rest of this entry »

There’s a pretty cool festival hitting Union Square on Sunday, if you’re in the city this weekend – Passport To Taiwan.

In addition to traditional (Paiwan tribal nose flute!) and contemporary music, arts and crafts, there will be great Taiwanese cuisine, which is what got our attention.

Yay, we finally have a banh mi truck in NYC! There are at least 3 in LA, but in NYC we are only aware of a banh mi cart in the Financial District. If you don’t work downtown, you’re SOL.

The Paris Sandwich Truck is fairly new to NYC, but as we told you recently, they used to sell in Jersey city, and have 2 storefronts in Chinatown.

We love fish, and an authentic Vietnamese banh mi truck should make a decent fish banh mi sandwich, since fish is such a big part of their diet. Let’s find out.

All of the Paris Sandwich banh mis cost $8.  They also had spicy shrimp, coconut curry beef, and some chicken and pork items on the menu too.

It’s decent out now, and should be at least through lunchtime. Great for enjoying New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below.
