New York Street Food

Late last year, there was a new truck in the Flatiron area called the Cevap Truck.  At that time, the guys in the Cevap (pronounced “che-vop”) Truck told me they were originally from Bosnia, had opened a restaurant in Astoria named Ukus, and started this truck last December, when it was pretty f’ing cold out.  They disappeared a little while later, but I wasn’t too surprised because the middle of winter is not the time to launch a new food truck.

I was hoping the Cevap Truck would be back when the weather got nicer, but they didn’t respond to my emails asking when they were coming back.  Not a good sign. Just when I thought they were gone for good, the green truck reappeared around Bryant Park a couple of weeks ago.

The menu is pretty much the same, with a couple of adjustments, which I’ll describe below.

Today’s Lunch is a cevapi platter ($10) from the Cevap Truck.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a great new lunch, cevapi, from a brand new Bosnian food truck – the Cevap Truck, located on 5th Ave between 21st & 22nd St.  It was good enough that I wanted to try something else from there.

Today’s Lunch is chicken kebab ($5) and a meat burek ($3) from the Cevap  (pronounced “che-vop”) Truck.

Last week after I got a Spanish Sub from the World’s Best Sandwich truck, on the way back to the subway at 23rd & Broadway, I saw a green truck on the street that I hadn’t seen before.  It said Cevap Truck and it looked pretty interesting, but I already had lunch in my hand.

I did a little research on the Cevap Truck over the weekend and saw that someone on Midtown Lunch spotted them too, but hadn’t tried it yet.

I had to be in the Flatiron District again, and was able to stop there for Today’s Lunch, which was cevapi ($5) and a cheese burek ($3).  (NYSF note: I stopped by the Cevap Truck yesterday, but didn’t have time to write this up until last night.)

I spoke to the guys for a while and got some good info, including how to pronounce cevap.  Find out more after the jump.
