New York Street Food

RIP Ed Koch! We ran into him at a street festival when he was the Mayor, and he was so filled with life you couldn't help but like him. Ed Koch was the quintessential New Yorker - smart, brash and opinionated. We counted at least 7 food trucks in the 47th & Park vicinity so far. Let's not go overboard,...

We know we're in the minority here, but we actually like winter. However, there are some downsides, like last week's brutal temperatures...and no Coolhaus ice cream trucks! Yes, we know you can get Coolhaus in some local stores, and even have it delivered to your door, but there's nothing like walking up to the truck and getting a freshly made ice cream...

From the Zingerman's website: "While langos is almost unknown over here, in Hungary it’s almost everywhere. There are langos stands all over the country, the same way that hot dog carts cover Manhattan, or falafel stands are all over the Middle East. Langos is quite simply a flat disc of deep-fried bread dough. Most langos are brushed, right out of the fryer, with a wisp of...

Ever had Curried Goat? Well, earlier this month, we were by West 43rd St & 6th Ave a couple of times, and both times, the venerable Trini-Paki Boys Cart was not at it's usual spot. Since there was a new Thai cart, we thought (after 2 separate visits) that Trini-Paki Boys was no longer around. NYSF reader Brendan saw our article...

It's Italian Week, and Cupcake Crew and Valducci's have FREE dessert for a song and a slice, respectively. La Bella Torte will give you a FREE cannoli of you can guess who said the movie quote below. On another front, the Stouffer's Mac & Cheese Truck has Chef Amanda Freitag doing her own special take on mac & cheese today....

We had no idea it was Italian Week...but Frankie and Valducci's sure did. In honor of Italian Week, our favorite Italian Brooklynite made up 7-Layer Rainbow Cupcakes, and they will be served up at the Cupcake Crew truck today. Frankie is parked on 49th St & 6th Ave. Check their twitter here or our Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case he had...

We LOVE Chorizo Hash, so we got excited last week when we saw Calexico Carne Asada's Daily Special was hash. Next week we're going to Amsterdam, and figured this lunch would get us in the proper mood for visiting time in that great city. When we got down to the cart, it turned out the daily special was chorizo hash,...

Looks like a pretty nice day. Get outside and enjoy 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 last minute. Valduccis ‏Great Spring day to be @WFCFoodTrucks Vesey&NorthEnd! Enjoy the good weather with a delicious slice! Gorilla Cheese...

We ran across an interesting article about street food in Tokyo on the Tiny Urban Kitchen website. Never having been there, we did not know that eating or drinking while walking is considered rude in Japan. You would think that would put a damper on street food, but there is plenty available...and it looks delicious! You don't have to go to...

As we've mentioned, the Stouffer's Mac and Cheese Truck is in town for 3 weeks, serving 5 different toppings over their macaroni & cheese for $4 a bowl. They are also raising money for Hurricane Sandy Relief, which Congress has been very slow to act upon. Before leaving the office, we had our mind made up - BBQ Pork Mac...
