New York Street Food

On Friday, it seemed like a lot of our Mobile Munchies tweets referenced 47th St & Park Ave. It's become known as the 47th & Park Food Trucks Paradise. We wanted to try the Mac Truck, but were shocked when we saw  just how many food trucks were on that block. (Check back at lunch today for our review of...

Have you ever heard the expression "candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker"? It was written by Ogden Nash, but we bet Mr. Nash never heard of Weed World Candies. Coming back from lunch earlier this week, we saw the above van parked on Varick St, and got into a conversation with the driver. He watched us taking these photos,...

We always love a Pizza Steak Sandwich. After seeing Phil's Steaks win the 2012 Vendy Award for Rookie of the Year, we've been meaning to stop by the truck to congratulate them. Yesterday we had that opportunity, and it also gave us a chance to see if there was anything new on the menu. Yes, there were a few new menu...

It's pretty crappy out, but you know what that means - no lines at your favorite street food vendors. Congratulations to Cinnamon Snail for recently getting their official certification from the International Kosher Council. Hey, just in time for Yom Kippur. If you enjoy hearing about desserts, Joe from La Bella Torte will be on the Maggie Mistal Show at 5pm...

  We got some news hot off the press late yesterday from Evan Stein, owner of Shorty's, Shorty's On Wheels and Lil' Shorty's. Shorty's just signed a lease for a new bar/restaurant located at 62 Pearl St in the Financial District, a few steps from Broad St. This isn't a tiny takeout and delivery window like Lil' Shorty's. It's a 2,000 sq ft emporium,...

Food truck promotions have been a little slow this year, but here's one you can sink your teeth into. You may love Nutella for dessert, but what about for breakfast? The Nutella Breakfast Tour will show you how you can enjoy Nutella for breakfast, with plenty of free samples. The truck will be in NYC for a week starting this Saturday, and...

We hadn't seen Rocco DiSpirito's Now Eat This! truck around for a while. Was this another example of a food truck that went under? No, they were just on hiatus for a while at the end of the summer. The truck recently reappeared with a new menu...and higher prices. No main dishes are under $10 anymore. When it comes to Italian food,...

We're heading out of town next wee for a few days, so things are pretty busy around here. Let's get right to it. 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.

Monday is October already, and although we're not quite there yet, some New York Street Food options will be reduced as the weather cools down. Unlike LA or  Miami, we can have tough winters, with some vendors choosing to close for a few months. Don't worry, there are still plenty of NY Street Food vendors who work all year. There...

There are still plenty of great street food festivals in the area, and one of our favorites is this weekend. The 2nd All About Downtown Festival takes place this Saturday, Sept 29th in Jersey City. For the New Yorkers out there (like us), it's only 2 stops from Manhattan on the PATH train.  Last year, we were surprised at just...
