New York Street Food

With Eat St. in town this week to film 4 NYC food trucks (Uncle Gussy's, Comme Ci, Comme Ca, Gorilla Cheese and Papa Perrone's) for possible inclusion in Season 3 of the show, I received a question from G, who thought we were only up to Season 2. To answer G, Eat St. is originally filmed for Food Network Canada,...

Yesterday I stopped by the Eggstravaganza cart on Park Ave & 52nd St to congratulate Arturo on his Vendy Award nomination.  I remember how happy he was last year when his friend Rosa from El Rey del Sabor was nominated for a Vendy Award, and I know how much this meant to him. Since I have been to two Vendy...

Not the nicest day out, but most of the vendors are out on the street today, so give them your business.  A few are off-road preparing for the Vendy Awards tomorrow. Madison Square Eats also kicks off today for a full month. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the...

From mid-May to mid-June, we enjoyed some fantastic lunches at Madison Square Eats.  Amazing vendors who are normally not on the street (Asia Dog, Roberta's Pizza, etc) had stands on the triangle between Broadway and 5th Ave and 24th & 25th St.  There were also old standbys like Calexico Carne Asada, who now have a cart on the triangle...

If you're not going to the Vendy Awards this Saturday (9/24), here are a few other options for interesting things to do. At the Southeastern-most entrance to Central Park on 5th Ave & 59th St, Mexicue, Wafels & Dinges and Good To Go Organics will be at the finish line of the Fifth Avenue Mile.  The event runs from 8:45am to...

Earlier this summer, we told you about the Taste of the Parks event, where the NYC Parks Dept showed off some of the fifteen new vendors who will be selling food in our parks. One of the vendors who submitted a winning bid was Coolhaus, who will be setting up shop on Central Park West between 80th and 81st street,...

The last new food truck I tried at the All About Downtown Festival in Jersey City last weekend was Mamma Marci's.  Both Home By The Range and Lucinda Creperie were excellent.  How would Mamma Marci's stack up? First I perused the menu, which you can see here.  I've heard that Mamma Marci's meatball sandwich ($7) is good, but I decided...

In addition to the Coolhaus Daily Candy Special in Soho we mentioned yesterday, Mexicue, Kelvin Slush and Rickshaw Dumplings also have Daily Candy specials today in Soho.  Seems to be the hot area today. There are plenty of other great street food vendors around, listed on the right and below.  Just make sure to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed...

I was invited down to the filming for Season 3 of Eat St at the Gorilla Cheese NYC truck yesterday, and it was a lot of fun. I got a nice amount of camera time, including some with James, the owner.  But it's tough to compete with 4 cute women eating grilled cheese and laughing and giggling most of the...

We saw the following tweet from Coolhaus a little while ago: "If you're in SoHo tmrw, come on down to DailyCandy Deals Takes SoHo! Broadway btwn Houston + Prince for $4 sammies! 11am-9pm #DCSOHO." Coolhaus ice cream sandwiches are usually $6, so the aptly named Daily Candy is providing a pretty good deal with $4 Coolhaus sammies!
