Mobile Munchies for Wed, Feb 6th

Mike N Willies
We're feeling a little under the weather, and so is the Cinnamon Snail. They tweeted earlier today "Broken down and having engine work done all week". You're gonna have to wait a little longer for their award-winning vegan food. As always, make sure to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the last...

Mamu Thai Noodle Truck Is This Close To Reality…And You Can Help

As we first read about in Gothamist, Siwat Thitiwatana wants to bring an authentic Thai noodle truck to NYC. He already has a wrapped truck, much of his equipment, and a NYC Mobile Vending Permit. Siwat's family owns and operates 3 noodle shops in Bangkok, and he will be using family recipes handed down over generations on the noodle truck....

The Elvis from Munchie Mobile

Years ago when we first started learning about Elvis Presley, we heard about 1) the music 2) the Ed Sullivan Show where he was only allowed to be filmed from the waist up, and 3) his favorite comfort food, a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich. Munchie Mobile has their own version with a couple of additions. We're not sure...

Mobile Munchies for Tues, Feb 5th

Mausam Curry N Bites
We hear it's snowy in NYC today. Stay safe, and enjoy great street food, from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Most of the vendors are working in this weather, so give them a reason to keep working. Give them some business. As always, make sure to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone...

It’s Big Gay Ice Cream Breakfast Time

In case you haven't heard, the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop in the West Village recently started serving breakfast. Not omelettes and stuff like that, but a line of pastries from La Newyorkina and Dough, and fresh coffee. La Newyorkina was a Vendy Award Finalist in 2011 for her scrumptious Mexican paletas, but Fany is also an accomplished baker. Just listen to...

NYSF In Amsterdam: Thaise Snackbar “Bird”

If you read NYSF regularly, you know that we are in Amsterdam this week. Before we left, we contacted eat-amsterdam.com and dutchgrub.com for some street food recommendations, but they both said it doesn't exist. Instead, they gave us a few restaurant recommendations. The first place we went to yesterday was Thaise Snackbar "Bird". They started out with a small snackbar that has 4 tables and...

We Tried The Chicken Tikka Bao at Chinese Mirch. Tasty?

We're always on the prowl for new dishes to try, and the Chinese Mirch truck recently introduced chicken tikka bao as a daily special. Chinese Mirch is basically a cross between Indian and Chinese cuisine, if you can imagine that. The Northern part of India is below Nepal and Tibet, which is the area where many of these dishes come...

Mobile Munchies for Mon, Feb 4th

Taco Bite
We have no idea what the weather's like because we're in Amsterdam this week. No worries, there's plenty of stuff in the hopper for you this week. If we run across anything exceptional in Amsterdam, we'll do a quick post, but it won't be a full review, and it probably won't be street food. There doesn't seem to be any...

Mexico Blvd Bringing Back Flautas !

We haven't been to Mexico Blvd in a while, so we stopped by Friday to check in and see how they were doing. Our timing was good, because Jordi told us they were going to bring back a menu item they only had for a couple of days in the beginning - flautas. When Mexico Blvd first came out, flautas were...

Did We Like The Zeppoles at Valducci’s ?

After reading about the freebies being given away for Italian Week, we thought a few zeppoles might be in our future. Valducci's was giving them away with the purchase of a slice to celebrate Italian Week. They also had a second promotion going on for Italian Week to buy any slice, and get a regular slice for free. This caused...
