New York Street Food

We've been on a little bit of a vegetarian kick lately. After enjoying the Cinnamon Snail's offerings last month at the 2012 Vendy Awards  (where they won the People's Choice Award), we've been checking out vegetarian fare more often. We're not sure if more street vendors now have veggie options, or if we just didn't notice them before. Either way,...

The fall weather has arrived, making it perfect for those hearty New York Street Food meals from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the last minute, there was a film shoot, or the police started chasing trucks away from their spots. Wafels...

Saturday night we had dinner at Rustic L.E.S., stopping in to see the new restaurant opened by our friend, Yassir Raouli. We're sure you all know Yassir, who founded Bistro Truck in 2009, and was a Vendy Awards Finalist in 2010. Rustic L.E.S. opened 2 weeks ago, but we've been out of town twice since it opened, and were not able...

Feel like Arroz Con Pollo? Move over Morocho, there's a new Peruvian food cart in town! As we often do, we got out of the Rockefeller Center station at 47th St see what was happening along 6th Avenue. Before turning down 6th Ave, about midway down the block, there was a crowd of people around a food cart. Approaching the...

We're not sure how many offices are open today because of Columbus Day, but most of the New York Street Food vendors are out and working today. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the last minute, there was a film shoot, or the police started chasing trucks away from their...

Ever tasted a Durger at Trusty Truck? A week ago Friday, we were surprised at just how many food trucks were in the 47th St & Park Ave area. There were 9 food trucks in a 1.5 block area that day. A big scene like that can often mean trouble, so we stopped by 47th & Park on Friday to...

Feel like Chicken Bao? The Fun Buns cart emerged last spring with pork belly bao (Chinese buns), then they came out with beef bao at the beginning of the summer. They must be doing something right. Last month Fun Buns was named as a 2012 Vendy Award Finalist in the Rookie of the Year category, and we got to enjoy them...

It's been a while since we've been to the Gorilla Cheese truck, and their Pepperoni Pizza Melt special sounded like something we wanted to try. From the description, it didn't sound like a slice of pepperoni pizza on grilled bread. It sounded a bit more interesting. The Pepperoni Pizza Melt sandwich itself costs $7, and it's $10 for a combo,...
