New York Street Food

Crisp on Wheels has taken the opposite path of many food trucks.  The usual trajectory is for someone to open a food truck, then open a restaurant, as was done by Schnitzel & Things, Souvlaki GR and countless other food trucks.

Crisp on Wheels had several brick-and-mortar locations in the city, and then opened a food truck, which is not unheard of, just less common.

I’ve had a couple of lunches from Crisp on Wheels that were good, and wanted to try something new.

Today’s Lunch is the Acropolis ($8.75) from Crisp on Wheels.

We had a NYSF First Look at Crisp on Wheels in early May and enjoyed a Crisp Africa sandwich that day.  It was time to try another dish from Crisp On Wheels.

Today’s Lunch is a Crisp Mexican Salad ($7.75), which comes with falafel and a choice of white or whole wheat pita bread.

The new Crisp On Wheels falafel truck hit the streets last week when I was in L.A., but I had a chance to get there today for a NYSF First Look.  They have six different types of falafel dishes, which you can get either in a white or whole wheat pita sandwich or in a salad.

Today’s Lunch is a Crisp Africa sandwich ($8.44 after tax) from Crisp On Wheels.

We’ve been looking around the web, and found two more new food trucks coming to NYC in the next month or two.

In addition to new trucks we mentioned a while back from Red Hook Lobster Pound and Milk Truck, Grub Street found the Gorilla Cheese NYC Truck.  Here are their website, twitter and facebook accounts.

GCNYC will be hitting the streets in the middle of April, with creative grilled cheese & tasty comfort food made to order.  They will offer several types of local breads such as white, wheat, rye, multigrain, and our favorite, challah.

mac & cheese bites with ginger dip

There’s the Classic (American cheese on white), the Brooklyn Special (asiago & proscuitto on inside-out panini with aioli), mac & cheese with ginger dip, and much, much more.  The very interesting full menu can be found here.

Midtown Lunch reports that Crisp, the falafel restaurant with 2 locations in midtown and one downtown, is coming out with a food truck within the next 2 weeks.  It will be called Crisp On Wheels, and their website is here, twitter is here, and facebook is here.

Crisp is all about fresh ingredients and eco-friendly packaging.  They have falafel burgers, bowls and sandwiches, with about half a dozen choices in falafel sandwiches and salads such as classic, Mexican, Mediterranean, African, Greek and French.  Their full menu can be found here.

Both Gorilla Cheese NYC and Crisp On Wheels have been added to our Mobile Munchies twitter feed, so you can track their progress and find them both in the same place.  We will keep you informed as well.
