New York Street Food

It's that time of year again - we're going away to recharge our batteries (or more accurately, to soak them in alcohol). Although we do not expect to post anything over the next week, if something especially noteworthy arises (such as Vendy Award nominations), we'll do our best to keep you informed.  

Last year the Vendy Awards introduced Best Market Vendor, to recognize the best vendors populating all those great weekend markets like Smorgasburg. Two years ago, the Vendy Awards had a Best of NJ category, that was won by The Taco Truck. While there was no Best of NJ category in 2013, it's back again this year. Click through to see the...

One of our favorite categories at the Vendy Awards is Best Dessert. We have a huge sweet tooth, and have been amply rewarded (with calories and cavities) by Wafels & Dinges, Kelvin Natural Slush, Wooly's Ice and many others. The 2013 Vendy Award Finalists were jst announced in the Best Dessert category. There are 6 finalists, and they are a...

Since we started attending the Vendy Awards in 2009, we've had great relationships with the eventual Rookie of the Year winners. Coincidentally, 2009 is the first year there was a Rookie of the Year category at the Vendy Awards. From Schnitzel & Things to Souvlaki GR to Korilla BBQ to last year's winner, Phil's Steaks, we've been early supporters of...

In our opinion, one of the better new street food vendors this year is The Steel Cart. They serve excellent sandwiches (and soup in the cooler weather) for lunch. What you may not know is The Steel Cart also serves breakfast. If it's not too busy, you can ask them for a breakfast item at lunchtime. They recently started serving grits,...

  Apologies to Davie Bowie for the headline. We were contacted by someone on twitter from the Supreme Burger Truck a few days ago. If you recall, we reviewed the Rhong-Tiam Supreme Burger Truck a couple of times, here and here. Their twitter was @RhongTiam. This message came from the twitter account @SupremeBurgerNY. Was it a new truck or just a new twitter account?...

It may be hot outside, but there were still plenty of people enjoying great New York Street Food on 47th St yesterday. No need to deny yourself the pleasure today either.

The latest Philly cheesesteak truck to come on the NYC scene is Carl's Steaks. As we previously told you, they are no strangers to NYC, with 3 stands at the quintessential NYC landmark, Yankee Stadium. When Carl's first hit the street, we tried a regular cheesesteak and a chicken cheesesteak. Both were pretty good, but now it was time to try "The...

So how do you feel today - baked, fried, grilled or steamed? Guess it depends if you're in the sun or the shade. All the great New York Street Food vendors will be working today, so grab some lunch, then cool off with a cold dessert. There are plenty of options.
