New York Street Food

Even though I occasionally receive compliments on New York Street Food photos, I don't have any formal photography training, and have always wanted to learn more. After doing a little research, I decided to get the book, Food Photography: From Snapshots to Great Shots by Nicole S. Young.  It was only $15 on Amazon, which is a great deal for all the...

About a month ago, we told you about a new food truck that was coming out soon, and had a Japanese hibachi-style cuisine.  Well, Hibachi Heaven debuted last week, and we stopped by for a NYSF First Look. We arrived at 1:15 and there were about 15 people either on line or waiting for their order.  At 1:30, we had...

To kick off NYSF Burger Week, we head south to Union Square via Peru. If you want an idea of the variety of burgers available from NYC street vendors, one need look no farther than Morocho NYC, the Peruvian cart on Union Square West just north of 14th St. The chef/owner of Morocho NYC, Miguel Samanez recently recommended we try the...

Enjoy this beautiful day before we end up melting later this week. A few trucks are out because of mechanical problems (Red Hook, Cruisin' Kitchen, Mexicue), but there are still plenty of great options to choose from with the vendors below and on the right. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at...

With summer starting this week, both literally and figuratively, what better time to celebrate that great All-American dish, the hamburger. Yes, we know the hamburger was invented in Hamburg, Germany, but the advent of fast food in America spread the popularity of hamburgers far and wide across the globe. The immense popularity of hamburgers have spawned countless variations from inventive chefs....

You can't really talk about the best NYC ice cream trucks without mentioning the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck in the conversation.  It was founded in 2009 by Doug Quint and Bryan Petroff.  We first ran across them at the 2009 Vendy Awards, where they were nominated in both the Best Dessert and Rookie of the Year categories, a...

It's National Lobster Day this gorgeous Friday.  By the time you read this, it will be too late to get one of 50 free Samuel Adams Summer Ale-infused lobster rolls from Red Hook Lobster & Sam Adams, but you can still buy one until 3pm.  You can also get delicious lobster rolls from Luke's Lobster and the Urban Lobster...

Did you know that today is National Lobster Day? The Red Hook Lobster Pound's truck (aka "Big Red") and Samuel Adams are teaming up to pair these two delicious staples of summer, lobster and beer. Samuel Adams Chef Partner David Burke has created a Summer Ale-infused lobster roll recipe. Whether pairing or cooking with craft beer, Samuel Adams Summer Ale's crisp wheat character and built-in spice...

In April we told you about a new food cart from the team behind Bian Dang that served Chinese buns known as bao.   Fun Buns started out with only pork belly buns, but they recently added a 2nd item, spicy beef bao, to the menu. The bao are $3 each, or you can get a combo of 3 buns plus either...
