New York Street Food

Even though many of us are back to "normal", a lot of people in the area are not. With temperatures dipping into freezing territory, it's more important than ever that we don't forget those without electricity, food or heat. With donations from Jet Blue, Chase News, and additional money raised by the NYC Food Truck Association, food trucks are being...

Updated Sunday Afternoon 11/4 With food trucks under attack from municipalities nationwide, one silver lining of Hurricane Sandy may be demonstrating just how vital food trucks can be during a major emergency. We are among "the powerless" (as those without electricity have been dubbed by the press), not having electricity in our building since Monday night around 8:30pm. While we have tap...

People are hurting in many areas of NYC and NJ. We have received calls for food truck help from SI, Rockaways, LES, Hoboken and more. We are retweeting all the info we can. Jet Blue Airways and the NYC Food Truck Association have 12 trucks in 7 locations giving away 11,000 free meals. Click here for locations or check below. Here's where...

UPDATED FOR VENDORS & LOCATIONS BELOW On Friday Nov 2nd, Jet Blue and the NYC Food Truck Association are teaming up to serve thousands of hot meals to New Yorkers without power. The NYCFTA says 15 food trucks will participate. So far we know about Mexico Blvd, SweeteryNYC, CupcakeCrew, Big D's Grub Truck and Coolhaus. More to be announced. According to Jet Blue...

With no power below 23rd St, a bunch of food trucks have been in the Union Square, Flatiron and other powerless areas. Yes, the people below 23rd St are being called the powerless. At first, we weren't too happy with that name, but a) we can't do anything about it and b) we are one of them, so we might...

Things are returning to normal above 23rd St in Manhattan, but much of downtown is still without power, including us. Con Ed says Fri or Sat for power to return. We would like to thank New York Sports Club for a hot shower this morning. They are allowing non-members without power into the gyms that are open. All you need...

It's a tough world out there, especially serving lunch to New Yorkers. If you don't bring your "A" game, don't expect to last long. You may be able to get people to try your food once, but good luck getting them to return...and most businesses rely on repeat customers to be successful. Even though they had a cute logo, the...

Some of the street vendors are out and about, but some aren't. The WFC Food Truck Lot is closed today. Don't know about the LIC or Hudson Square Lots. Below are the food trucks who will definitely be serving today. Vendors who tweeted they will be closed or have not tweeted are not included, but you can check our Mobile...

Wed, Oct 31st - 10:20am Hope everyone came through the storm ok. We live in the West Village, and haven't had power since Monday night at 8:30pm. They're talking 4-6 days before we have power back. Wow! Lots of Scrabble by candlelight so far. Luckily we have a gas stove, and have been cooking up the contents of our freezer meal...

Ever had chicken and basil dumplings? A few weeks ago, we checked out the new Muay Thai cart, which is from the same people behind the Tuk Tuk Boy cart on West 50th St. At the Muay Thai cart, they had chicken basil listed on the menu, but told us they were only selling pad thai. That was disappointing, so...
