New York Street Food

Last week we stopped by Toast Monster for a mac & cheese sandwich for lunch, but looking at their menu, we instantly decided to go back for brunch very soon. That day came sooner than even we expected. How can you pass up a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich on French Toast ?  We can't, especially when it costs only $3! Classifying this...

They're talking about snow later today, but lunch should be ok. Dinner, probably not. As always, make sure to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the last minute, or closed up earlier than usual because of the weather. BigDs Grub ‏Snow? What #snow?? Come n' Grub at #StarrettLeHigh 26th Street btwn 11th and 12th Ave, 11a-2:30p. Preorder...

Yesterday saw the unveiling of the first new falafel flavor on the Taim Mobile Menu in quite some time - kale pesto. In addition to Taim's great regular falafel, they rotate special falafel flavors like red pepper, harissa and green olive. Now they are upping the ante even more with 4 new falafel flavors - and bringing out new soup specials too! We recently had...

Over the past 2 weeks, Neapolitan Express New York has gotten a lot of press.  The mainstream media were all over them for a couple of days, after their big press conference with Mayor Bloomberg, T. Boone Pickens and the truck's owner, Max Crespo. Those are some heavy hitters. With Neapolitan Express being a food truck, of course we wrote...

It's a nice, clear winter day, but by lunch it should be in the mid 40's. Perfect for picking up some great New York Street Food. If you like huitlacoche, the black mushroom made from corn, two different vendors are featuring it today - Calexico Carne Asada and Eggs Travaganza. Taïm Mobile is introducing a new falafel flavor today - kale pesto....

Green Food Trucks in New York? About 2 weeks ago, there was a big hubbub in the press with the unveiling of Neapolitan Express.  Mainstream media outlets were calling them the city's "first green food truck". A noble pursuit, but Neapolitan Express weren't exactly the first. The mainstream media doesn't know food trucks like we do. Not to take anything...

Ever tasted Goat Kacchi Biryani? Well, new food carts have been opening up on a pretty regular basis, and the latest we've found is Hyderabad. No, it's not badder than Superbad. Hyderabad is a city of about 7 million people in southern India. Most vendors serving Indian cuisine seem to specialize in certain dishes. Some do biryani, chicken tikka masala...

As we mentioned last week, Crisp On Wheels is now known as the Pocketful. Lots of other great street food vendors around too. Nuchas still has their Maker's Mark Bourbon Hampshire Pork Empanada, and Neapolitan Express will be making its first lunchtime  foray onto the NYC street. Make sure to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had...

Ever had Mac and Cheese Sandwich? If you're like me, you probably looked at the title of this post and said "What? Why would you put macaroni & cheese on toast and grill it?" The answer is because we were expecting to have sloppy joe on the sandwich too. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the sloppy joe add-on a...

Yes, it's March 1st already. Soon enough you'll be sunning at the beach. Think warm thoughts, which is easy to do this beautiful day. Lots of goodies around today. Don't forget about the Maker's Mark specials at 6 different food trucks for National Pig Out Day. After that, get FREE cupcakes from Cupcake Crew. Like we mentioned earlier this week, the...
