I bet you didn't know we had the World's Best Sandwich Truck (WBST) right here in NYC!  (At least, that's what the side of the truck says.) The WBST does not travel around the city, it parks in the same place every day - 20th St between Broadway and Park Ave.  They are basically a deli on wheels, with assorted...

One of our favorite food trucks, Bistro Truck, is expanding with a new brick-and-mortar location on the Lower East Side. As first reported in Fork In The Road, Yassir Z.
