New York Street Food

Last night we heard from Fany Gerson, better known as La Newyorkina. Fany serves up delicious paletas (Mexican ice pops) in really interesting fruity and spicy flavors, such as the mango chili one we had a while back. In fact, last year La Newyorkina was a Vendy Award Finalist last year in the Best Dessert category. Fany was very excited to announce...

Time to put our Everybody Likes Free category to the test. Artist Laura Ginn, who says she's spent the last several years "developing an ad-hoc crash course in self-reliance," raised over $2,000 on Kickstarter for her art event, "Tomorrow We Will Feast Again on What We Catch". The exhibit is a display of photography and performance that culminated in an urban hunter-gatherer feast last week...

Ever had Shrimp Momo? We've had some good lunches from Chinese Mirch including duck sliders and both chicken and vegetable momos. But there are still  a few things on the menu that we wanted to try.

Tis the season...to enjoy great food truck festivals. There are too many to name around the country, so let's just concentrate on four upcoming festivals in the New York area.  We'll go chronologically to make it easier. This Saturday (Aug 4th) is Parked! from 10am-9pm at the South Street Seaport. There will be over 30 of NYC’s top food trucks, 20...

Although they are not a new truck, we hadn't been to the Green Pirate Juice Truck before. According to their website, the truck has been around since 2007, but we never crossed paths. That's probably because we don't generally seek out vegan food, but the Cinnamon Snail has opened our minds to how good vegan food can be. Now that...

  Yeah, it's finally cooled off a bit. Should be a really nice day to get out and enjoy great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. We have to get this post out early today, so make sure to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at...
