New York Street Food

We haven’t been over to Gorilla Cheese New York in a while. There’s nothing better than a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch on a cold, winter day. Being in the mood for something with stronger tastes, we ordered the prosciutto, asiago and aioli sandwich for $8. The grilled cheese sandwich came out of the truck a nice, golden brown. Most sandwiches that...

We haven't been to Nuchas in quite a while, and their new stand in Greeley Square was a good reason for a return visit. It also helped they were serving potato leek soup on this freezing, windy day. Nuchas had a couple of specials, with 3 empanadas for $9, or 2 empanadas and soup for $8. We ordered the latter. If...

Heaven just got another food truck! First there was Hibachi Heaven. Now there’s Deli Heaven. Guess it’s no surprise they are affiliated. We recently found Deli Heaven on their 1st day out, on Broadway & 56th St. It’s great when the 1st stop a new food truck makes is right by our office! Deli Heaven has pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, similar...

New York Street Food received the following from Big D's Grub about their planned introduction of a Asian themed cart in Midtown next month: Big D’s Grub has been cooking up something exciting this winter, and you're the first to know! Join us as we raise the concept of mobile food to new heights with our innovative new look and concept—Khao. “Khao”...

Late last year, a Tibetan food cart called Shangri-La Express appeared on 50th St between 6th & 7th Ave. The movie Lost Horizon (where they search for Shangri-La, i.e. "paradise") is one of our favorites, so "Shangri-La Express" was a place we wanted to go. Being in the area recently, we stopped by for lunch. About the only thing we know...

Just over a year ago, we wrote about a DUB Pies Kickstarter campaign. They already had a truck, but needed about $30 grand to get it in shape. The campaign was successful, as they exceeded their goal by $6,868. Yesterday, we caught up with the DUB Pies truck on 56th St & Broadway, their 2nd day on the street. They...

Even in the dead of winter, new food trucks appear! The latest is a patriotic food truck called Yankee Doodle Dandy's. It has the Statue of Liberty, the Constitution, and other Americana as the truck wrap. Winner! Winner! is not necessarily our opinion of the food (you have to read to the end to get that), but it is the name...

It wasn't too long ago that we went back to Souvlaki GR for the first time in a while. During that visit, we saw they expanded the menu slightly, by adding Greek spinach pies and cheese pies. That meant a quick return trip. The cheese pies are 3 for $8, and the spinach pies are 3 for $9. We asked...

Thanksgiving was more than 2 weeks ago, but heading out into the 27 degree weather at lunch, we were thankful the Red Hook Lobster Truck was parked near our office. In an unusually busy day, there were 7 different food trucks or carts parked on Broadway between 55th & 56th St. It was the first time we recall seeing Big Red...

The Food Box, a 2,000-square-foot pop-up artisanal food fair, has opened at the Falchi Building in Long Island City. It's meant to not only service building tenants, but also the LIC neighborhood. There are some pretty interesting food vendors, including the 2013 Vendy Award Winner for Best Market Vendor. Click through to read about each one. Participating vendors to date include: •...
