New York Street Food

Way back in early 2010, we told you about Japadog in an article about street food during the Vancouver Olympics.  Japadog had 3 carts on the streets of Vancouver at the time (now up to 5), where they serve hot dogs with Japanese toppings. We were especially intrigued by the Oroshi, which is a bratwurst w/special soy sauce, green onions,...

A lot of people think it's glamorous or exciting to work in a food truck or a restaurant, but the reality is quite different. There is something very satisfying about feeding people good food, but the hours are long and the money is not that great. Laine Doss wrote a long, detailed article for the Miami New Times after working in...

I was in Times Square at lunchtime, picking up 2 for 1 tickets to a show for Broadway Week.  If you still want 2 for 1 Broadway tickets, get online quick.  Most of the best tickets are already gone. Since I was in Times Square, I decided to try Snackbox, a new kiosk in the pedestrian plaza on Broadway at...

Have you ever eaten a huge burrito for lunch, only to end up in a food coma halfway into a 3pm meeting, drooling on your shirt?  Mexicue believe they have the solution. Mexicue contacted us recently about a new addition to their menu - Bullets.  Bullets are burritos served on 8" tortillas and come 2 to an order, plus tortilla...

The good people at Mexicue tipped us off to an article in The Atlantic (mainly a political magazine) about where to find the best street food in the world.  The article also appeared in Food & Wine, their sister publication. The author, Carly Fisher, approached it democratically by listing over 20 cities alphabetically, from Austin to Tokyo. Of course New York...

As we told you towards the end of last year, Eddie's Pizza Truck has expanded their menu to include several types of sandwiches.  We enjoyed their buffalo chicken sandwich the week after Thanksgiving, so today we decided to go back and try their porchetta sandwich. We originally tried Eddie's porchetta at the 2011 Vendy Awards, where they were a Rookie...

Baby it's cold outside. What a great title for a song! Many of the vendors have hot soup, and of course hot food, to warm your insides.  You can also call in orders ahead of time at many of the vendors to reduce your waiting time outside. And make sure to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in...

Did you sit around during the holidays wondering what was in store for 2012?  I didn't think so, but there are people who did. Euro RSCG and CEO/trendspotter Marian Salzman released the top five trends in food for 2012.  Publicis Consultants USA also released a dozen food trends to watch for in 2012.  Click through for the deets. From Euro RSCG...

One of the oldest food trucks in New York is Rickshaw Dumplings. I first tried them at the 2009 Vendy Awards, where they were a finalist for the Vendy Cup. They have since expanded to two trucks, three storefronts, and they just opened a new kiosk in the Times Square pedestrian plaza.  You can find the truck locations by following...
