New York Street Food

Ever been to the Hester Street Fair ? UPDATE - Due to inclement weather, the May 24th event kickoff is postponed. The 1st Hester Nights event will take place on Thurs, May 31st. Do you enjoy markets like Madison Square Eats and the end-of-year Holiday Markets? The folks behind the Hester Street Fair are bringing a bunch of food vendors to the Hotel Eventi Courtyard...

WE ARE ON THE ROAD TODAY AND CANNOT POST ALL DAY, but wanted to let you know about two new food trucks that will be on the street today -  and they couldn't be more different from each other. On Monday we gave you a NYSF First Look at Shorty's, after their soft opening last weekend.  Cheesesteaks, Italian roast pork,...

Now that lunch is over, we can alert you to an article we ran across on the Lonely Planet website with mouth-watering photos of the 11 Best Street Foods Worth Blowing Your Diet Over. Yes, I'm sure you and I can both come up with street foods they missed (nothing in the USA!), but that's not the point of the...

Another new food vendor hit the NYC streets recently called the Munchie Mobile Truck.  It's owned and run by 3 NYU students, one of whom worked on two other food trucks that I'm sure you've heard of. You know the truck is geared for students when there’s Red Bull on the drink menu, but you don't have to be a...

The rain has passed, and it should be a nice day today to enjoy great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Today is the 2nd day for the new Hudson Square Food Truck Lot, which will have 6 different food trucks from Tues-Thurs each week. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed,...

Yesterday morning we heard about a new food truck lot from some of the vendors scheduled to be there on it's opening day.  It's in Hudson Square, which I've also heard called West Soho, and even the South Village. For some reason, Hudson Square doesn't seem to be catching on as a neighborhood name, but maybe this food truck lot...

If you spend any time in Philadelphia, you'll want to check out an article in last week's NY Times about the food truck scene there. In a word, its booming!  Even some hotels with restaurants are directing their guests to the food trucks for quick, inexpensive and delicious meals. Similar to LA and SF, Philadelphia has Night Markets with numerous trucks gathered...

One of the true pioneers of the NYC food truck scene is Kim Ima and The Treats Truck.  They have been around since 2007, and were given a Best Dessert award at the 2008 Vendy Awards, before the Best Dessert category even existed. Always evolving, last year Kim came out with the Treats Truck Baking Book, and last weekend, the...

It might not be the nicest weather today, but you should still enjoy great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. We hear there's a NEW FOOD TRUCK LOT called the Hudson Square Food Truck Lot (@HdsnSqFoodTruck) that's opening today.  It's on Varick/Grand/6th Ave/Canal St right by the Canal St station on the #1...

Last week we reported about food trucks returning to the old Tavern on the Green site.  We really enjoyed going there last summer, but the city’s Parks Department said it would not allow the trucks to return this season because of upcoming renovations at the site Pera Turkish Tacos and Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream were reportedly serving towards the end...
