New York Street Food

In the first few months of 2012, it seemed like things were slowing up from the frantic pace of new food trucks and carts in 2011.  Now that it's mid-May and we're hearing about all these commencement addresses, it seems like a good time to see who graduated to putting a food truck on the streets of NYC in...

Feel like devouring a Roast Pork Sandwich? A couple of months ago we told you about Shorty's, a Philly-centric sports bar with two locations here in NYC that was opening a food truck.  This weekend was their soft opening, and they hope to be on the street regularly in about a week.

We were contacted yesterday by a new truck serving iced coffee, iced tea and more called Cool Beans. In addition to fresh-brewed iced coffee such as Dark Brazilian Santos and iced tea such as Dragonwell Green Tea, they have banana whips, which are the consistency of yogurt, gluten-free cookies, and they expect to be adding Belgian waffles this weekend. The truck is...

Eagle-eyed reader John Laposky spotted the new Shorty's truck outside their Madison Ave location yesterday and sent us the great photo above.  Thanks John. So we got in touch with Shorty's to find out when they expect to be on the road. Evan from Shorty's told us they will be in Union Square on Saturday (5/12) from 11-3pm and at the...

With what seemed like every food website offering their list of "Best Mexican Food" places last week, I wasn't going to go down that road.  But I stumbled upon a Mexican food cart last week that is as authentic as it gets - Antojitos Mexicanos.
