New York Street Food

Ever had Taiwanese Pork Chops? Well, we had, at one of the pioneers of the NYC street food scene, Bian Dang. This brother and sister team started out as NYC Cravings, the name under which they were rewarded with a Rookie of the Year Vendy Award nomination in 2009. The 2009 Vendy Awards is where we tried NYC Cravings for...

Everybody's getting ready for Thanksgiving, and many of the food trucks are in neighborhoods devastated by Sandy, feeding people who don't have a lot to be thankful for right now. If you are in decent shape, please contribute to the NYC Food Truck Association's indiegogo fundraiser, so they can continue serving meals to those who need it most. For the most...

As it started getting later and people finished their dinners, the line at You Doughnut! was getting longer. Time to get some dessert before heading back to our hotel. Unfortunately, this was to be our last street food meal in London. On this trip at least.:) You Doughnut! fries up the raw dough fresh, right there at the stand after...

When we travel, whether it’s London, LA, San Francisco or elsewhere, there are always stores named _____’s New York Pizza, New York Bagels or New York Hot Dogs. Everybody want to be like New York, which is exactly why we live here. For the most part, we don’t usually give these businesses our money, but the hot dogs at...

With that in mind, we continue to serve many people throughout Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island today. We also thank all who have made this possible, including the NYC Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City and the Film Food Festival, our corporate sponsors, and our indiegogo fundraiser contributors from around the world. Hot sandwiches, burgers, soup, coffee, rice bowls, tacos, and even treats are...

While there are a number of Jamaican street vendors in New York, we have not seen jerk sausage before. We love any type of meat in tube form, and watching it being grilled, the jerk sausage at Mama's Jerk Station was calling our name. When that happens, you have to listen. The jerk sausage wrap cost £5 (about $7.50). As the sausage...

We did a little research on the Street Feast London website, and the first place we wanted to try was Vinn Goute. Even though New York is a melting pot, with people from all over the world, one thing you will not find is a street vendor from the Seychelles, an island chain in the Indian Ocean. We’re not sure if...

(Note: This lunch was eaten before we went to London last week.) With the subways still inconsistent after Sandy, we decided to stay near our office instead of traveling around town for lunch. Luckily, Domo Taco was less than 2 blocks from our office. Even better, they had a new menu item. After opening the truck with just tacos, Domo Taco...

We got back into town over the weekend, and things are still pretty bleak in much of the NY/NJ area. Food trucks continue making treks to the Rockaways, Staten Island, Red Hook, Coney Island, Gerrittsen Beach and other areas severely affected by Sandy. Once again, thanks to all who have made this possible, including the NYC Mayor’s Fund to Advance New...

We had to spend a few days in London last week, but were working in the outskirts, and were not able to have a bite of the London street food for lunch. However, on Friday night we went to Street Feast London in Hackney, an easy 13 minute train ride from Liverpool St station. Street Feast London takes place...
