New York Street Food

WE ARE ON THE ROAD TODAY AND CANNOT POST ALL DAY, but wanted to let you know about two new food trucks that will be on the street today –  and they couldn’t be more different from each other.

On Monday we gave you a NYSF First Look at Shorty’s, after their soft opening last weekend.  Cheesesteaks, Italian roast pork, and chicken sandwiches are how they made their name at their two brick-and-mortar locations.  We had a roast pork, broccoli rabe and sharp provolone hero on Saturday that was delicious.

Shorty’s told us they will be at 47th & Park today, you can see their menu here, but double-check their location on twitter here in case their plans changed.  To further entice you, anyone who orders a sandwich today can get a free beer at either Shorty’s location (as long as you are of legal drinking age).  Talk about an offer you can’t refuse.

We also told you about The Squeeze, a new bio-diesel, organic, living foods and beverage truck, which is also hitting the streets today.  CEO and Chef Karliin Brooks has created a healthy, tasty and fun alternative street food option to entice people in the city to give vegan fare a try.  They promise you will not be disappointed.

A couple of months ago we told you about Shorty’s, a Philly-centric sports bar with two locations here in NYC that was opening a food truck.  This weekend was their soft opening, and they hope to be on the street regularly in about a week.

We had a chance to stop by the Union Square area on Saturday, their first day out, and as always with a new truck, we asked for their recommendation.  The owner, Evan Stein, suggested a Roast Pork Special, which has homemade broccoli rabe and sharp provolone and cost $11.

Eagle-eyed reader John Laposky spotted the new Shorty’s truck outside their Madison Ave location yesterday and sent us the great photo above.  Thanks John.

So we got in touch with Shorty’s to find out when they expect to be on the road.

Looks like Phil’s Steaks will have some cheesesteak competition on the street very soon.

Shorty’s, a Philly-centric bar with two locations in NYC, is coming out with a new food truck.  Shorty’s are known for their authentic Philly cheesesteaks and other great sandwiches, and just yesterday they tweeted they are now a proud member of the NYC Food Truck Association.

A few weeks ago, we had a NYSF First Look at Phil’s Steaks on their first day open in Manhattan.  Now it’s 3 weeks later – time to check in again, and try something different on the menu.  Luckily they were parked 2 blocks from my office – on Broadway & 55th St – where they hope to be every Wednesday.

The first time there, we had to try a classic Philly cheesesteak, which was delicious!  We also saw a chicken cheesesteak on the menu that looked good and wanted to try on our next visit…but
