New York Street Food

Eater reports that Taïm, the West Village falafel storefront with the Vendy Award nominated food truck, will be moving into the space formerly occupied by Rocky's Italian Restaurant for the past 30 years in the heart of Little Italy.

A couple of months ago, Adam from The Cinnamon Snail told us he was working on bringing the NJ-based truck to NYC, but asked us not to announce anything it until it was a done deal. We got word over the weekend from the 2010 Vendy Rookie Finalist and 2011 Vendy Best of NJ Finalist that all the i's are...

With The Frying Dutchmen installing a new grill in their truck last week, they are now serving burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches in addition to french fries, chicken tenders and chicken wings.
