Last night was the first Choice Streets event, put on by the Village Voice.  It’s an extension of the annual Choice Eats event, which we attended in 2011.

Choice Streets was held alongside the Intrepid, which was open to explore, as was the Concorde.  The photo above was taken as I exited the Concorde.

There were over 20 food trucks at the event, including past Vendy Award Winners & Finalists such as Solber Pupusas, The King of Falafel & Shawarma, Souvlaki GR, Kelvin Slush, Mexicue, Taïm Mobile, Cupcake Crew, Wafels & Dinges and Korilla BBQ.

But we’ve talked about all of them many times before, so let’s talk about a few of the new vendors, plus an old vendor with a new dish.  Then we’ll go back to a few old favorites.
