Feed Your Hole first came out a little over a year ago, but were recently off the street for a couple of months over the winter rebuilding the engine on the truck.  Last week they returned to the street. With a name like Feed Your Hole, you know the food is going to be in your face.  When you see...

Hopefully the rain will hold out until after lunch, but we're going to enjoy great New York Street Food from one of the vendors on the right or one of the trucks below.  You should too. There are a few new vendors below, but you're going to have to read through to find them.  We have written up a couple...

On Tuesday we told you about a new lobster truck in town, and yesterday at lunch we got to try it for the first time...at the URBAN LOBSTER SHACK. The menu is a bit more varied than the other lobster trucks, with 5 different types of lobster rolls, clam chowder and french fries.  We also heard about some additional menu items...

Last night was the first Choice Streets event, put on by the Village Voice.  It's an extension of the annual Choice Eats event, which we attended in 2011. Choice Streets was held alongside the Intrepid, which was open to explore, as was the Concorde.  The photo above was taken as I exited the Concorde. There were over 20 food trucks at...

I have been to the My Biryani cart on 44th St just west of 6th Ave a few times, but never tried their kati rolls.  Time to remedy that situation.  The "gold standard" for kati rolls is Biryani Cart exactly two blocks north, but I already know how good those are. My Biryani seemed like a ripoff of Biryani Cart...

Still pretty full from Choice Streets last night, but I'll still be ready for lunch later from one of the vendors on the right or the trucks below. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the last minute. RedHookLobsterTruck ‏ Never too early to start thinking about lunch. 26th...

Last night at Choice Streets, there were over 20 of NYC's best food trucks.  It was a fun event, but we've been to most of the food trucks before. One truck we had not been to was Chinese Mirch.  That would have been difficult because last night was their debut! The truck said Chinese Food | Indian Flavor.  Sounds interesting. Their menu...

There's good news and bad news on the Bistro Truck front.  Let's start with the bad news first. This year's re-opening of Bistro Truck has been pushed back another 3 weeks due to NYC food vending permit bureaucracy.  Yassir had hoped to reopen this week, but the city had other ideas.  Hopefully Bistro Truck will be on the street by...

One of the better and more unique vendors in midtown is the Trini-Paki Boys cart on the south side of 43rd St just east of 6th Ave.  They serve a good chicken over rice dish, but their daily specials are what you should ask about before ordering. There could be jerk chicken, goat curry, chicken tikka masala, beef stew, oxtail...
