New York Street Food

The rain is gone, and it's a beautiful day. Make sure to get outside today and enjoy great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Hibachi Heaven is debuting today on Water & Broad.  If you try them, let us know what you think.  Tomorrow is National Lobster Day.  Make sure to check...

New York street vendors are known for being tough, having to deal with black marketeers, police, local businesses and especially other vendors. But I don't recall hearing about any NYC vendors doing what this ice cream vendor in Blackburn, England did to another vendor's truck. I bet you've never heard this sentence before: "I couldn't believe it when Mr Yummy jumped out...

  Le Pain Quotidien, the Belgian company with 150 locations around the world, is opening a kiosk today (6/13) in the Chelsea Triangle on Ninth Ave & 14th Street. This will be Le Pain Quotidien’s second kiosk in a New York City park, following their Mineral Springs concession in Central Park. Guess the Malaysian Night Market will have to find a new location this...

One of the stalwarts of the New York street food scene is Rafiqi's, with new carts and trucks seemingly popping up all over the place on a regular basis.   I can’t keep track of them all – there must be at least 10 Rafiqi’s carts and trucks around town at this point.  It's basically a street meat mini-chain. Sometimes all...

The rain is gone, so get out and enjoy great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Coolhaus has free ice cream sammies at the WFC Food Truck Lot just for trying out Google Wallet, Taim has the sabich sandwich as a special today (one of our favorites), and Hibachi Heaven is getting...

One of the more interesting food trucks coming out is the Japanese food truck Okadaman New York.  In addition to Japanese-style scallion pancakes (with lots of great looking fillings), they have yakisoba, kara-age and the dish we're really looking forward to, takoyaki. We were contacted by Okadaman New York, who told us the truck will be launching next Friday, June...

Just for today, Tuesday, June 12th, there will be no Mobile Munchies or any other posts.  We just needed a personal day to attend to some business.  Everything is fine. New York Street Food will be back to its usual posting schedule on Wed, June 13th.  Thank you for your continued support.

Three weeks ago we alerted you to a new food truck that was hitting the NYC streets very soon - Hibachi Heaven.  Well, tomorrow is that day. UPDATE: We just found out the opening will be delayed due to truck problems. We will keep you apprised of when Hibachi Heaven will be on the street. The owner, Nick Russo, emailed us...

There are many ways to cool off during a NYC summer, and we just found another one - An Icy Introduction, who make Caribbean-style SnoBalls, SnoCreams and Slushes. Readers of NYSF know about Wooly's Ice, who make Taiwanese shaved ice treats, and won Best Dessert at last year's Vendy Awards.  An Icy Introduction is a Caribbean version of this cool...

Chinese Mirch is one of the newer food trucks in the city, debuting at the Choice Streets festival just last month.  A couple of weeks ago, we tried their duck sliders, and now we wanted to try their dumplings, the Tibetan Momo. You can get either chicken or vegetable momos, which are 5 for $4.  We asked if we could get...
