New York Street Food

Recently I went down to the Financial District for lunch, but didn’t get there until around 3pm.  Both of the vendors I wanted to try were closing up.

Not sure where to go for lunch, I spotted the Ambizza Cafe truck on the corner of Old Slip and Water St.  I tried them once before when they used to park in midtown on Vanderbilt Ave.  Now they park in FiDi on this corner every day for breakfast and lunch.

My first visit was a decent lunch, certainly good enough to try the truck a second time.  I decided to get a chicken shish kabab platter for $8.

UPDATE – The Ambizza Cafe truck now park in the Financial District every day at Old Slip and Water Street. It does not park in midtown anymore.

I was near Grand Central for lunch and stopped at the Ambizza Cafe truck that was parked on Vanderbilt Ave by 46th St.  I have seen them once or twice before, but this was the first time I had a chance to stop.

Seeing the truck’s side, it was easy to decide what to get – their sign says “The Best Kofta Kabab in NYC”.  How can you pass up an opportunity like that?

Today’s Lunch is a kofta kabab platter ($7) from the Ambizza Cafe truck.  You can see there was a lot more than kofta kabab and rice on the platter – and they give you a free can of soda too.

(Does anyone else think this looks like Krusty the Clown with a mole?)
