New York Street Food

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.

Not the nicest day out, but it should be fine for enjoying great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below.

Don’t forget that Bistro Truck is back today after a long hiatus,

As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the last minute.

If you’re interested in eating a healthy lunch from a food truck, Now Eat This!is a good option.  All menu items are supposed to be under 350 calories, and are based on recipes from a cookbook of the same name by Rocco Di Spirito.

Similar to his UK colleague Jamie Oliver, Rocco is on a mssion to teach people, especially children, how to cook and eat healthily.  One of the first things they teach is that food can be delicious and healthy – these two things are not mutually exclusive.

I’ve tried a few things from the Now Eat This! truck since it first came out last November, ranging from excellent (chicken broccoli stir fry) to ok (lasagna bolognese).

With a few new items on the menu, it was time for a return trip for the chicken satay ($9) and vanilla panna cotta with a caramel sauce ($3) for dessert.

Green Pirate Juice Truck

Looks like a good day for lobster.  Luke’s Lobster is back after a short spring sabbatical, the Urban Lobster shack has a free gift for their 1st 25 customers, and Red Hook is at 46th & 6th and Madison Square Eats.

It’a also the last day for FREE treats from the Citibank Small Biz truck. They will be at the Forest Hills branch from 11am, and will have another stop this afternoon, so check their twitter (or Mobile Munchies) for the location.

As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the last minute.
