Red Curry Ramen from Hong Kong Noodles Cart at Madison Square Eats
Feel like Hong Kong Noodles? While walking through Madison Square Eats over the weekend, another vendor caught our eye besides Delaney Barbecue.
We tried Hong Kong Street Cart (HKSC) at Madison Square Eats way back in June 2011, but their menu today looked nothing like their menu 2½ years ago. Now they had 2 types of ramen!
The choices were red curry...
Halal Guys Storefront in the East Village
One of the most popular food carts in NYC opened a storefront in the East Village during the first week of November 2013.
The original Halal Guys cart on the SW corner of 53rd & 6th was a Vendy Cup finalist in the very first Vendy Awards back in 2005. They have since expanded to four carts in total, all...

It was a beautiful day yesterday, and we had a few things to do on Columbus Day, but we still needed a place to eat lunch. Madison Square Eats was nearby, and we hadn't been over to the latest incarnation yet.

2013 Vendy Rookie Finalist Pushes The Park Ave Boundaries
We were walking up Park Ave last week, and noticed a new food cart on the corner of 54th St with a bunch of people in line for lunch. That struck us as odd. The better food carts were usually lower on Park Ave.
The good food carts on Park Ave go from 47th St up to 53rd St. In...

Wafels & Dinges just announced it two days ago, to much fanfare, and yesterday we were able to hit Kastaar for lunch to try the new Chicken & Waffles Slider, and to be precise: Chicken, Wafels & Cream Gravy Slider.
As we mentioned previously, this new menu item is only available at the two Wafels & Dinges trucks & their East Village cafe. The...
Street Eats: Cranberry Walnut Salad from Fresh & Hearty
Fresh & Hearty has become one of the fixtures at the regular food truck spots around town since they opened back in April. We've had two lunches there, and the jury was still out as to whether they would receive our recommendation.

Wafels & Dinges Add Chicken & waffles To Their Dinges
Let's play a little word association game. When we say waffles, you say ______. Put your answers in the comments below to fill in the blank.
There are many words that can fill in the blank, but if you're in NYC, that blank is usually filled with "dinges"(stuff).
Another great way to fill in the blank is with "chicken". Chicken &...
NYSF First Look: Mr. Nice Guy
A tipster told us yesterday about a new food truck called Mr. Nice Guy. Thanks Tim.
We were able to get to the truck, which was parked on 40th St & Park Ave, by about 1:30. It was late, and there were a few people around the truck, but they still had everything on the menu.
Speaking of the menu, Mr....

Street Eats: Asian Tapas From Shanghai Sogo
Last week we told you about a new food truck, Shanghai Sogo, that serves what they call "Asian tapas".
For our First Look, we had a Meal Deal, which was an appetizer, sandwich and drink for $12.
This time, we spoke with the owner Ding, who explained the concept behind Shanghai Sogo. He wanted to serve dishes from several different Asian countries,...
