New York Street Food

After being in Miami last week, we needed something to warm our insides for lunch yesterday. New York can be a cold place, but we still love it! One of the best ways to warm your insides is with a hot noodle soup. Luckily, Bob & Jo came out with a new winter menu around Thanksgiving, and it includes ramen for...

Should be a decent day, with the rain not expected to start until tonight. Not sure about dinner, but you should be able to get great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. As always, make sure to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the...

There are a lot of regulations that mobile food vendors must follow in order to operate within the confines of the law. One of the most important is closing every night to clean the cart and re-stock each day with fresh food. As reported by DNAinfo.com, late last week, the Health Dept shut down 20 SoHo food carts after they...

We don't get to the Tribeca Taco Truck too often, but when we do, it's usually a great meal. They generally park in Soho (not Tribeca) when they're out. You can usually find them on weekends on Broadway around Spring Street. We've written about Tribeca Taco Truck before, but haven't tried their burritos yet. This trip called for a carne asada...

A beautiful day to be back home in NYC. There are plenty of great New York Street Food options to choose from, whether it's the vendors on the right or the trucks below. We'll be in a couple of different spots at lunch today taking around a TV crew from Hong Kong. If you see us around 47th & Park,...

For years, the NY Street Vendor Project (SVP) has been campaigning to lower the $1,000 fines their members receive for small infractions, such as parking too close to the curb or having a permit in their pocket instead of being visible. In December, the SVP obtained $228,000 in cash refunds from NYC for hundreds of vendors who were overcharged on the tickets...

The circle of life continues. Today, the Schnitzel & Things store closed, and Monday, Papa Perrone Truck is opening their long-awaited store. Yeah, Sicilian rice balls! Back in October 2011, Papa Perrone told us he was going to be sharing space in FiDi with a bagel store. Johnpaul's truck had constant mechanical and parking problems, so it wasn't a surprise. Things...

What is an eco friendly pizza? Where did it all start? Well, we know Mayor Bloomberg was a big supporter of food trucks bringing relief to victims of Hurricane Sandy. Now the Mayor is throwing his support behind Neapolitan Express, a pizza truck that produces almost 75% less greenhouse gas emissions than those that run on gas and diesel.   From the...

Looking forward to coming home tonight. Should be a good weekend, although we haven't checked the weather. We usually recommend food trucks or carts for lunch, but today is the last day of the Schnitzel & Things store on 45th & 3rd. Give them some love on their last retail day. (The truck will still be operating as usual.) As always,...

If you've ever walked by Madison Ave & 28th St, feeling for fish over rice, then no doubt you've seen the halal truck that's been parking there for years. We've walked by the truck dozens of times, but only recently stopped for lunch. One thing's for sure - this is one of the longest food trucks around. The menu is...
