New York Street Food

There will always be those newbies in the restaurant arena that believe there's a war going one, Restaurants vs Food Trucks. However, a new study confirms the obvious, that restaurants should not feel threatened by food trucks.

About 2 months ago, we ran into Ben Goldberg on the street. You might remember Ben, who previously ran The Frying Dutchmen, and he told us about a new taco truck coming out soon called El Paso. He confidentially sent us a copy of the menu, but asked us to keep it under wraps until the truck was ready to roll...and...

We've told you many times that owning a food truck is a very difficult business. Just because you can cook really well doesn't mean you can have a successful food truck. Even people who have turned their food truck into a successful enterprise have given up the street life for a brick and mortar restaurant (such as Bistro Truck→Rustic LES) We...

Needing to be near Times Square around lunchtime, we stopped by an old school vendor we haven't been to in a very long time - La Baguette Cafe. The truck is still on 40th St just east of Broadway, but the awning that made it look (a little) like a Parisian cafe is gone. There is nothing on the truck...

Vendy Cup Winners are not eligible to compete in the Vendy Awards again, but the People's Choice Winner is (hint,...

If you want to order ahead and skip the lines, Food To Eat takes orders for many of your favorite street food vendors. As always, check our Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the...

Zagat NYC recently put together a video montage showing the enormous diversity of food that can be found on the streets of NYC. We've been telling you about that for the past 4 years, but Zagat distilled it into a 60 second video clip. How many foods or vendors can you identify? We got up to around 20 before going crazy...
