NYSF NEW TRUCK ALERT: MOLLY’S MILK TRUCK

We wanted to let you know about another new food truck coming to our area, Molly's Milk Truck.  Don't worry Keith, it's very different from your Milk Truck. Molly's Milk Truck was started by Hoda, who left the corporate world not because of the recession or being laid off, but because it was too stifling and unfulfilling.  Hoda hooked up...

VIDEO: FOOD TRUCK DESIGNS, WITH A SIDE DISH OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

We recently ran across a video from Daniella on Design about food truck designs.  It included some history on street food too.  If I didn't know better, I would think she took the New York Street Food Tour last summer, which included very similar facts about street food history. One thing Daniella definitely did borrow was one of our pictures. ...

TODAY’S LUNCH: CHICKEN SHAWARMA & A BIRD’S NEST FROM RAINBOW FALAFEL

I was in the Union Square area for an appointment and decided to stop by Rainbow Falafel for lunch.  They are in a tiny storefront with no seats on 17th St, a few stores in from Union Square.  We made them a member of our Honorary Street Food category in 2010, and wanted to check in again to see...

IF YOU THOUGHT HAVING A FOOD CART WAS TOUGH, GREEN CARTS ARE EVEN WORSE

Being a street vendor is a tough business, but it's even tougher for vendors in the NYC Green Cart program. They can only sell in specified "lower income" communities, can only store their carts in certain "approved" commissaries, and can incur significant fines for infractions like not using the right umbrella or being too close to the curb. City Limits has...

TODAY’S LUNCH: BLT BURGER & SKINNY FRIES FROM THE GO BURGER TRUCK

There are too many examples to list of food trucks that later opened restaurants or stores.  Go Burger is in the minority of food trucks because they had a restaurant first, then opened a food truck. I've had a bunch of enjoyable meals from Go Burger, but never had their BLT Burger.  I'm not a huge fan of BLT sandwiches,...

MOBILE MUNCHIES FOR MON, JAN 9TH

Click through to find out which vendors submitted videos and how to vote for them.  There are a few local vendors, so make sure...

BEEF KOKINISTO & LENTIL SOUP FROM UNCLE GUSSY’S

I've been seeing kokinisto every now and then on Uncle Gussy's specials menu and have been wanting to try it, but it's a heavy dish, and I needed the weather to be colder first.  I recently pulled the trigger and headed over to Park Ave & 51st St - and it was a good decision. In addition to Mom's kokinisto...
