New York Street Food

We had a fun read earlier this week on the SF Weekly Blog. One of their writers, Michael Leaverton, went off on the designs of the trucks in this season's Great Food Truck Race. As we told you a while back, none of this year's contestants had food trucks, which were provided to them by the show. Only the winner gets...

With the recent announcements of the 2012 Vendy Cup Finalists and Best Dessert Finalists, we started thinking about past a Vendy Cup winner. Yesterday we told you about the tamales we had from Solber Pupusas, winner of the 2011 Vendy Cup. Another past Vendy Award winner, who actually parks near our home in the Village, is Sammy's Halal Food. They won the...

Finally a day without rain (hopefully). Lots of great New York Street Food to try, so let's get out there and...eat. Tonight is Fashion Night Out, and many of the food trucks are working the catwalk. There's a fish & chips truck at Ted Baker, and a huge number of our favorite food trucks will have pop-ups on the 3rd...

Feel like Sno-balls? As we told you yesterday, the finalists were announced in the 2012 Vendy Awards Best Dessert category, and two of the vendors we had not tried before. Last night on the way home from the office, we stopped by the Imperial Woodpecker Sno-Balls shop (IWSB) at 124 MacDougal St in the Village. At this point you may be asking...

One of the newest, and certainly one of the most unique, street vendors around town is a tiny cart called Monsieur Singh Lassi Pops. They're receiving a lot of attention now because of their well-deserved nomination as a 2012 Vendy Award Best Dessert Finalist. They opened at the end of July, and we had a NYSF First Look in early August,...

Over the long weekend, we went out to the Red Hook Ballfields to check out the 2012 Vendy Cup finalist, Piaztlan Authentic Mexican Cuisine.  While we were there, we checked out some of the other vendors too, including 2011 Vendy Cup Winner, Solber Pupusas. We've already told you about Solber's great pupusas, so this time we tried two of their...

It's not the nicest day out, but at least we now know who the 2012 Best Dessert Finalists are. Can't wait for the Vendy Awards in just 10 days. 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...

Would you say NO to the Vendy Awards Best Dessert? I don't think so. The Vendys have just sweetened our day with the announcement of the six 2012 Vendy Award Finalists for Best Dessert. Click through to find out who is being recognized for their amazing desserts, and how you can still get tickets for this awesome event. We were stunned...

  Ted Baker London is celebrating Fashion's Night Out on Thurs, Sept 6th with a traditional fish & chips truck at their new flagship 5th Ave store. Ted’s Fish & Chips Truck will serve up the most authentic fish & chips this side of the pond, but not everyone will get one, so click through for the deets. Gotta love their motto: "In...

When the 2012 Vendy Cup Finalists were announced last week, the Piaztlan Food Truck was one of the vendors. Based on their reputation, Piaztlan have been in the NYSF Directory for a while, but we didn't actually have the pleasure of trying their food until last weekend. Piaztlan Food Truck is owned and run by Eleazar Perez and her family. We...
