TODAY’S LUNCH: PERNIL WITH RICE & BEANS FROM BROTHERS EXPRESS

I was in Chelsea just before lunch, and decided to stop by Brothers Express on 18th St just west of 6th Ave on the way back to the office. Brothers Express is an old school street vendor, and they have regular street food such as burgers, cheesesteaks, gyros and the like.  But the chefs are Mexican, and the best food...

The Vendy Awards has added another new category for 2011 besides the Hero's Award - The Best of NJ. We've had a New Jersey section on New York Street Food for quite some time, because Northern NJ is as much a part of NYC as Queens or Staten Island - and they have great street food vendors! We must say, the...

TODAY’S LUNCH: BURGER & CURLY FRIES FROM WALL ST BURGERS

I stopped by the fairly new Wall St Burgers truck today to try a burger.  They have been around since mid-June, but have spent a lot of days parked way uptown by the CUNY campus.  They now seem to be coming down to the middle and lower part of Manhattan more frequently. On our First Look, we enjoyed a salmon...

CHECK OUT THE NEW MILK TRUCK

I got a look at the new Milk Truck last week during Fashions Night Out - but that's about all I got. When I arrived at the Milk Truck around 8:30pm, they were already out of the grilled cheese being given away in front of the Tory Burch store on Little West 12th St.  I was able to get a...

SPICY PULLED CHICKEN KIMCHI BOWL FROM KIMCHI TACO TRUCK

Last week I had to run an errand, and on the way back to my office, I happened to pass the Kimchi Taco Truck.  There were a few people around the truck, but it didn't look too bad, so I got on line and ordered. It turned out to be no more than 7-10 minutes between getting on line and...

KORILLA BBQ DISQUALIFIED FROM THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE

In a shocking development, Korilla BBQ was disqualified in last night's episode of The Great Food Truck Race for trying to cheat. The 4 remaining food trucks were in Memphis, and the host, Tyler Florence, hit the trucks with this week's speed bump - they had to sell vegetarian food in Memphis, a huge bbq town. Selling tofu tacos and quesadillas...
