New York Street Food

Leaving the ferry terminal for Gov. Island

We don’t usually go to the huge food trucks events because the lines can get ridiculous.  Who wants to wait on long lines for food, drinks and dessert all day, especially on a holiday weekend with sunny weather in the mid-70′s?  Not us.

Because I enjoy all these great street food vendors during the week, it’s not that big a deal to get them all in one place on a Sunday – but if you can’t visit these vendors during the week, I guess this might make sense.

Which line should we get in first?

You may have read about the chicken tikka masala battle last week in the Village Voice’s Fork In The Road column.  This battle pitted the Famous Dal Cart on 32nd & Park against the Desi Truck on 27th & 5th.  (Spoiler alert: the Famous Dal Cart won.)

However, we were more interested in the Desi Truck’s kati rolls.  (We were told recently that kati means “stick”.)  They have 4 types: aloo (potato), paneer (cheese), chicken and chicken anda (with egg).  Today’s Lunch is two kati rolls -  aloo ($4) and chicken anda ($4.50).  Is this a better option at the Desi Truck than chicken tikka masala?  Find out after the jump.
