New York Street Food

  Going through our Mobile Munchies list yesterday, we saw the following tweet: MorrisGrilledCheese ‏@morristruck6h The time is almost upon us! The @dailycandy #dcbazaar starts tomorrow! 11-8 at w.

Over the summer, we tried a new M truck on Park Ave & 52nd St called La Perla Mexicana (The Mexican Pearl). It's an old-school Mexican food truck, and was good enough that we wanted to try more. Luckily, they just started parking one day a week (Tues) on Broadway btw 55-56 St, right around the corner from our office. It's been...

We're always looking for ways to save money, and Mexicue Truck is making it easy. All you have to do is go online and place your order...and voila...20% off. You can order from their website, order from Facebook, or order right from your phone with the free Mexicue app. How much easier can it be? The fine print: The discount only applies to...

Due to a quirk in NYC law, food trucks are technically illegal, but food carts are not. East 47th St between Park & Madison Aves. used to be a food truck paradise, until the city cracked down on the "illegal" food trucks. New Yorkers will not be denied their street food, and as we reported, a bunch of food carts took...

We're always happy when a NYSF Reader tells us all about a new food truck or cart that we were not previously aware of. Unlike other food websites, we do not have a staff of writers scouring the city, searching for the latest and greatest. NYSF is just me, myself and I. So when someone tells us about a new...

Wow! It really has been over 2 years since we last went to the Souvlaki GR truck. We've been to their restaurant since then, and saw Kostas at the Vendy Awards in Sept, but us and the truck have just been in different zip codes most of the time. Souvlaki GR spends most of their time downtown, but on Friday, they...

As we told you earlier this week, our old friend Meru opened a new cart this week called Vooter Adda, right next to his Vendy-Award Winning Biryani Cart. The menu is small, with only half a dozen fried rice and noodle dishes, but it's also one of the more inexpensive carts around. For our first visit, we tried the masala lamb...

We headed over to 46th St & 6th Ave yesterday to check out Meru's new food cart, Vooter Adda. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be seen. Where else could we go for lunch in that area. Only a few thousand choices! Across 46th St and a little up the block from Biryani Cart, there was a familiar light blue colored cart,...

Towards the beginning of the year, Mexico Blvd told us they were bringing flautas back to the menu. We finally made it there yesterday to check them out. For the meat-avoiders out there, Mexico Blvd has two types of flautas to choose from, and both are vegetarian - black bean and potato. You can get 3 flautas for $7.50, or the...

Yesterday we picked up flautas from Mexico Blvd (review coming at lunchtime) and walked along 46th St, expecting to see our old friend Meru Sikder at the Biryani Cart. Before we got to the Biryani Cart on 46th & 6th, there was a new cart just east of it called Vooter Adda. We took a photo, and then took another...
