About 2 weeks ago, we heard about a new raw vegan food truck called The Squeeze.  They were around for a day or two, then disappeared.  On Friday, we ran across them on Union Square and asked where they had been. It was the same story we've been hearing a lot lately - bureaucracy and permit issues.  NYC doesn't make...

Not everyone thinks street vendors are a public nuisance, even in a tony residential area like the Upper East Side. The NY Post recently had an article about a pediatrician and food cart vendor who have been saving a parking spot for each other on East 96th St for two years. The Post reports that when Dr. Doug Waite pulls his Volvo out of...

A while back we told you about Shorty’s, a Philly-centric sports bar with two locations here in NYC that was opening a food truck called Shorty's On Wheels.  During our First Look, we had a delicious Italian roast pork special sandwich.  For our second visit, we had to try a classic Philly cheesesteak.

The food truck phenomena keeps growing and growing.  The latest city to catch food truck fever is also one of the most unexpected - Paris. Street food itself isn’t new to France, with street vendors selling pizza, crepes or spicy Moroccan merguez sausages, cooked on griddles and stuffed into baguettes. Yesterday the NY Times had an article about new food trucks...

We first ran across the Jamaican Dutchy cart at the 2009 Vendy Awards, where they were finalists in the main category.  Although they didn't win, we found out they were located only 6 blocks from our office, and started going there on a regular basis. Last summer the owner, O'Neill Reid, traded in his cart for a brand new food truck....
