New York Street Food

The Vancouver City Council (dubbed "Big Mother" by some of its inhabitants for their habit of trying to tell everyone what's good for them) will be increasing the number of street food vendors from 80 to 140 by this summer, with an increase of 15 vendors per year after 2011. Instead of allowing just any operation to set up shop...

The recent NYSF Guest Post from Charlotte of Simonseeks.com entitled "An English Girl's Take On The Best NYC Mobile Eats" reminded us of just how exceptional the food at Calexico Carne Asada is.  And the daily special of ground lamb, cilantro, onions and their "crack" chipotle salsa was the perfect excuse to go there again - so despite the...

It's not a pretty day outside, but you can still get some great New York Street Food.  Most of the vendors appear to be working, so give them your business on this crappy day - and call ahead if you can.  We highly recommend it. A lot of trucks needed to move on short notice last week, so check the...

Cupcake Crew has been around for a couple of months now, but we didn't get a chance to check them out until recently, so this is our First Look. Cupcake Crew was generally parking at 34th St & Park Ave, which is very difficult for us to get to during lunchtime, but we recently saw a tweet saying they were...

Some of the trucks are out and some are taking the day off for MLK Day. The trucks that are out are listed below.  If you don't see someone, they took the day off for MLK Day. Enjoy the day off if you have it.  If not, guess it's just a regular week, but you can still enjoy some great...

We recently checked in with Jessie Dardar, owner and chef of the Louisiana Spice Truck and his dessert alter ego, Le Petit Temptation. The Louisiana Spice Truck usually parks in Jersey City, but is off the road for the winter.  It is expected it to be back on the road some time in March.  If you want authentic Cajun food,...

I've been telling you about all the new menu items from Biryani Cart/Juicy Wings - such as hot wings and cheese steaks - which they are serving at their new, 3rd cart across 46th St (by 6th Ave) from their 2 original carts that serve Indian food.  Meru has expanded again, and the 2008 & 2009 People's Choice Vendy...

It's been a busy week, so let's get right to it.  Enjoy some great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. 52nd St between 6th & 7th Ave looks like a great block today, with both Mexicue and Wafel & Dinges, but there's plenty more.  Just check below.

We couldn't make it out for lunch today, so here's some cool street art to enjoy with your street food. From Flavorwire: If there’s one thing that is as fleeting as celebrity is, it’s street art. Which is why they thought it would be interesting to look at the intersection of the two. Click here to find 50 of their...

Only Bistro Truck and Wafels & Dinges were open today due to the snow, so I headed down to 5th Ave between 16th & 17th St.  Bistro Truck is one of my favorite food trucks, and they were justly rewarded with a Vendy Award nomination in 2010. Unfortunately, Yassir had just left the truck to run an errand, leaving my...
