New York Street Food

The finalists have been announced for Best Market Vendor category of the 2012 Vendy Awards. We haven't done a lot of coverage of the various markets that have popped up around town, so we are not familiar with most of the finalists. That just means we have some new vendors to try at the Vendy awards this weekend. Click through to...

Ever had Beef Rice Pilaf? Well, we went over to Rockefeller Center for lunch recently because there's usually interesting street food along 6th Ave, anywhere from 43rd to 52nd St. Wouldn't you know it, there was a new cart we had not seen before on the west side of 50th St called Rice The Great. The cart is done up...

This fall weather is awesome! Love it...almost as much as the we love the New York Street Food Vendors on the right and the trucks below. We were affected by 9/11 in a very personal way, and want to leave it up to everyone to remember it in their own way. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in...

We recently told you about a tasty new pad thai cart that was only 2 days old, with the proprietor telling us it did not have a name yet. Looks like our little brainstorming session worked. Kicking names around, the owner Arthur came up with Muay Thai, and we told him that we loved it. Now the cart has reappeared...

Feel like Shrimp Pad Thai? Well, the things you find just walking around at lunch are amazing. Man, we love this city! On Friday, we were heading over to Park Ave in the 50's for lunch, but hadn't decided where to go. King of Falafel, Uncle Gussy's, Eggs Travaganza or someone else...so many choices. Coming out of the 53rd-Lex station, we...

What an amazing day out! Perfect for enjoying great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Frites 'n' Meats has a new Burger of the Week, Louisiana Lightning, that sounds kind of like a buffalo burger (bleu cheese & hot sauce, not bison). Rocco DiSpirtito's Now Eat This truck is back at 52nd &...

Ice cream sandwiches are getting a lot of attention these days. Two ice cream sandwich vendors, Coolhaus and Melt Bakery, were just nominated as finalists in the Best Dessert category of the 2012 Vendy Awards, and a past Best Dessert Winner just came out with their own version. Wafels & Dinges, who won Best Dessert at the 2009 Vendy Awards, recently...

With food trucks in just about every medium-to-large city, and chains bringing them out too, lots of people think food trucks  have jumped the shark.  We've been guilty of saying this too. In SF, the sharks soon will be able to jump a food truck. From SFist: "Local chain The Melt will launch their fleet of grilled cheese buses by floating the first...

Anybody who has eaten lunch from The Taïm Mobile knows just how good their falafel is - good enough to be a  Vendy Award Finalist for Rookie of the Year in 2011. One of our favorite specials at The Taïm Mobile is the sabich (suh-beech) sandwich for $6.75...but there's not a speck of falafel in the sandwich. Taïm is a Hebrew word that means “highly...

Gonna be a hot and humid one today, but you can cool off with the 2012 Vendy Award Best Dessert Finalists. Ice cream sammies, Italian ices, lassi pops, shaved ice and more. Lots of action last night at Fashion Night Out, but almost all the trucks are back on the road today. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out,...
