New York Street Food

  If you're a serious foodie (and even if you're not) head down to the Lower East Side for some amazing food this weekend. The Grub Street Food Festival is on Sunday from 10am-6pm with an unbelievable amount of food vendors.  They just added a beer garden, too. But if you can't wait until Sunday, the Hester St Fair is happening on...

When I was walking home through the Village last night, there was a group of about 10 NYU students around a new food truck on Washington Square South that I had never seen before called Palenque.  The sign on the side of the truck said Home Made Colombian Food, with paintings of macaws. The woman at the window named "nena"...

You just knew that eventually zombies would invade the world of food trucks - or is it food trucks invading the world of zombies? Either way, two of the hottest things going right now are together in the webcomic Leftovers. Leftovers is a serial comic that follows the misadventures of a food truck crew, struggling to deliver food to survivors of...

For those of you who haven't seen Papa Perrone on the street lately, it's only because he was having mechanical problems with the truck. The truck was back on the street today (Thurs). While he was off the road, Johnpaul announced that he will be sharing space with a bagel store downtown called Dough-Re-Mi.  It will be at 36 Water...

I stopped by the United Healthcare truck yesterday on West 57th St for a FREE lunch.  It was raining and windy, so there wasn't any line.  I walked right up and got my lunch, but thankfully NYSF reader "midtown-g" tipped me off that the portions were half sandwiches.  "That doesn't constitute lunch to me", he emailed me. Midtown-g said you...

A few weeks ago, we heard that The Frying Dutchmen were installing a grill in the truck in order to expand their menu.  Well, the time has come. Today they will have a burger on the menu, and they will gradually be adding more burgers and possibly other items (grilled chicken?) to the menu. Ben told me they want to make...

Flavorpill ran a feature on Austrian photographer Stefan Fürtbauer’s Eiterquellen series, which captured the fluorescent-lit food kiosks of Vienna against the dramatic blackness of the city at night. In a statement about the project, Fürtbauer explains that these “wurstel diners” date back to the 19th century and have become both “the place of the distinctive Viennese working class” and a last...

I've been to Bistro Truck plenty of times, but never tried their lamb burger.  A couple of months ago, in order to stand out a bit from other food trucks serving burgers, Yassir switched from a beef burger to a lamb burger. Lamb is generally more expensive than beef, but Today's Lunch of a lamb burger from Bistro Truck was...
