New York Street Food

There’s a good chance that amidst all of the new changes that have taken place in the landscape of downtown Brooklyn, you might have overlooked one in particular. And it just so happens to sit right out in front of the Long Island Railroad’s Atlantic Terminal and the iconic One Hanson Place. Cesar’s Empanadas is an open secret for...

  Walking up lower Fifth Avenue recently, we came across a new food truck called Shady Dawg. They have only been around for a few weeks, and serve what we would call premium hot dogs. There are about a dozen different dawgs available on the menu, in a variety of styles ranging from the Lower East Side to Chicago to Buffalo...

Another new food truck has come out recently called the V Spot. Their tagline is "Hit Your V Spot - Vietnamese Cuisine". While there are currently a food truck and a food cart serving Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi), the V Spot serves a few Vietnamese dishes that are not sandwiches. The guy taking orders said their most popular dish was...

You know it's October(fest) when the Morris Truck has a Beer and Brats Grilled Cheese on the menu. The Morris Truck is one of the better NYC food trucks when it comes to using seasonal ingredients. The menu rotates pretty regularly, so you never know exactly what will be on the menu on any given day - but there will...

The first annual Brooklyn Local Craft Beer Festival was a big success. The festival featured twelve New York breweries with each brewery offering two beer selections. The festival was a great way to learn more about the local craft beer scene and gave me the opportunity to speak with head brewers about upcoming events and brews. One of my favorite beers during...

A new Caribbean food truck popped up over the past few weeks in the usual midtown food truck haunts (47th St Park/Lex and 46th/6th). One thing we love about Caribbean food is the availability of seafood on the menu. Even if you don't like seafood, there are plenty of other choices. We went for the grill fish for $10, but...

If you’re planning a trip to Austin, Texas be prepared to wait in line. This is me forewarning you about the expected long lines for barbecue. Franklin Barbecue even has a Twitter account that updates each morning with photos of the line. Clearly, Austin takes their barbecue seriously. Make plans to wake up early to get in line at La Barbecue. This food...

Ever had a Cuban Sandwich? A new food truck opened recently that bills itself as "The Authentic Taste of Puerto Rico". We can't vouch for the authenticity claim, but we can let you know if the Latin Kitchen is worth your time and money. The side of the truck says "The Home of El Jibarito", so of course we had...

The NYC street food scene keeps evolving, but some of the same faces keep popping up. We first met Hacene when he managed the Gorilla Cheese truck before striking out on his own with the Steak & Crepes cart. The concept for Steak & Crepes didn't really work out (do I feel like a cheese steak or a crepe today?),...

We recently tried a new food truck called Langos that serves the eponymous Hungarian food called langos. This dish was new to us, but the woman who ordered right before us said she was Hungarian, and had langos many times before. However, it was her first time at this relatively new truck, so she couldn't offer an opinion on...
