New York Street Food

One of the other food trucks we tried at the Santa Monica lot was Wicked Kitchen. After perusing their menu, we thought the Thai Chili Chicken Tempura (cloyingly named "Don't Lose Your Tempura") looked good. It cost $8.24 including tax. Well, sometimes looks can be deceiving. It's not that the dish was bad, it wasn't, but we expected more. The crispy...

We were wondering what happened to Wooly's Ice. After winning the 2011 Vendy Award for Best Dessert, Wooly's set up shop at the South St Seaport. They also spent some time at Hester Nights, but we haven't heard from them in a while. Well that all changed yesterday...and Wooly's Ice will be giving away tickets to the next event from Bang-On...

One way we can tell you about even more food trucks is by visiting them with friends or family. At the Santa Monica Food Truck Bazaar, our friend Bob tried Rice Balls of Fire, who feature Korean tacos, sliders and rice balls (natch). Bob ordered two rice balls and a taco, and we asked him for his thoughts. Before we get...

We haven't seen a promotion from Mexicue in a while, but tomorrow they will be giving out FREE tacos, courtesy of Details Magazine. Mexicue Tacos can be had at 25 Howard Street in Soho from 1-3pm.  

We're back in LA this week, and if it's Tuesday night, that means the Santa Monica Food Truck Bazaar. This is our 3rd visit to the Bazaar since it opened in March. There are usually anywhere from 5-10 food trucks at the lot, giving us a chance to sample several vendors at the same time. For the first bite of the...

2013 Vendy Award Finalist for Rookie of the Year, Neapolitan Express, have not been resting on their laurels. The best food trucks are constantly reinventing themselves, and Neapolitan Express is doing just that by coming out with new types of pizza. The one that really got out attention is the "a Diavolo", made with cherry peppers and spicy Sopressata sausage. Can't wait to...

It's been tough to find specific times, but a food truck promoting the new TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, starring Andy Samberg, will be giving out FREE bagels, coffee and donuts today in two locations. We know the truck will be on 14th St between Broadway & University Place, as well as in Brooklyn (natch) at J St and Metrotech. In other cities, the...

A couple of weeks ago, we told you about a new food truck parking on 21st St just west of 6th Ave run by a food truck veteran. Walking up to the window, we recognized the co-owner Nozz, who used to work on the Phil's Steak truck. Nozz wants to create a NY Style cheese steak, but also serve mac...

If you're a regular reader of NYSF, you know that life has been incredibly hectic for us over the past 6 months, and is getting more so by the day. In addition to selling our home, moving into a temporary apartment, and hoping to close on a new home by the end of Sept, we are now dealing with the...

One of the problems with johnny-come-latelys is they mess things up for the originals. It just happened again with food trucks on 47th St between Park & Madison Aves. There used to be 2-3 food trucks on the block, but when nobody hassled them, more and more came to the party. Lately there have been 6-7 food trucks parked on...
