New York Street Food

Yesterday (June 26th) was the first Food Truck Drive-In held as part of the 4th Annual Food Film Festival.  The drive-in was under the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO with over 30 food trucks in 2 different sections and another area for food vendors from the Brooklyn Flea.  It was a beautiful day to enjoy street food from some of the best vendors in the New York area.

Upon entering, the first section had stands with vendors from the Brooklyn Flea and the seating area for film screenings.  I’ve had some of the Brooklyn Flea vendors’ food before, such as Asia Dog, but one I hadn’t tried yet was Choncho’s Tacos.  They set up a little tiki hut in one corner, and their menu was written on a blackboard on a surfboard.
