New York Street Food

Last summer, a new food truck started showing up in the usual food truck spots called Grill On Wheels. A lot of food trucks serve grilled meats, but this one is kosher. At this point, there are a few kosher food trucks. Most of the menu is grilled chicken or roasted shawarma meat, which is a combination of chicken and lamb...

It's been a while since we've been to the Cinnamon Snail, and just our luck, they had a brand-new daily special today. The "Spicey (sic) New Special" was Sambal Olek Grilled Seitan, which cost $10. Like most of the Cinnamon Snail's offerings, there was a laundry list of ingredients in the sandwich: pickled red onions, Thai basil, miso-soaked black currants, arugula,...

Broadway Bites, which we visited in the freezing cold around Thanksgiving, is back, and the weather is much more hospitable now. Similar to Madison Square Eats, Broadway Bites is a food market with over 30 vendors situated in booths in a public space. In this case, they are on Broadway between 32nd & 34th St. If you go to any of the...

We always enjoy lunch from Bian Dang, the Taiwanese food truck that received a Rookie of the Year Vendy Award nomination in 2009, but the menu is fairly static. That's why we were excited to see a new dish, Salt & Pepper Chicken, not too long ago. Bian Dang also has one of the prettiest food trucks on the street, a...

  Valducci's is best known for their Sicilian-style pizza, which we previously told you about, but they recently expanded the menu. In addition to half a dozen options for pizza toppings, the menu now includes a meatball sandwich and zeppoles for dessert...but we didn't order any of those. Valducci's has been testing out an eggplant panini sandwich, and the only way to know about...

We love seafood, but it's usually expensive, so we're glad to have Kim's Aunt Kitchen around for lunch. Their name may not be grammatically correct, but they have good, basic seafood at some of the best prices around. The cart is located on 46th St between 5th & 6th Ave, but much closer to 6th Ave. Kim's Aunt Kitchen is...

We finally got down to the latest incarnation of Madison Square Eats, which runs through the end of May. There were some interesting vendors included, but it was damn crowded! Our suggestion is to go early, late or after work for a drink and a bite, since they are open until 9pm every night. Several vendors serve booze, so...

Spring is here, and winter menus are now in hibernation. One of the more interesting new spring menu items we've seen is the Crispy Rice Burger from Bob & Jo's. The Crispy Rice Burger is Bob & Jo's take on the Ramen Burger that took Smorgasburg by storm last summer. The Ramen Burger used crispy ramen noodles as a hamburger...

We are happy to extend a hearty "Welcome Back" to Morocho, one of the best street food vendors in NYC. New York Street Food was the first to review the Peruvian fusion cuisine of Morocho, 2 years ago, and they ended up as a Vendy Award Finalist in the Rookie of the Year category a few months later. The chef and...

Dennis (Big D) has been telling us for a while about his concept for a new street food vendor that's different from Big D's Grub Truck. His food truck sells a fusion of Korean and Mexican cuisine, such as bulgogi tacos. Big D's Khao Cart finally arrived on the street recently, and of course we had to stop by. Khao means...
