New York Street Food

It was rainy out again today, but that didn't stop Bob & Jo from serving lunch on 48th St between Madison & Park Ave. I previously tried Bob & Jo when they first appeared at the end of July, but I would file that lunch under "working out the kinks".  Jo didn't show up that day, and Bob was furiously...

It's another rainy day, but Cupcake Stop will be giving away 1,000 free mini cupcakes at 1 Pace Plaza and Spruce St, compliments of Pace University. Wafels & Dinges came up with another great special this week, Grandma's Envy (spekuloos, diced apples and wildflower honey). They haven't tweeted locations yet, but according to their website, they should be by Hanover...

To help celebrate Fashion Night Out, Marcus Samuelsson, one of the top chefs in NYC, has teamed up with Restaurant Associates to combine the worlds of food and fashion in a pop-up café, Global Street Food.  The pop-up cafe will debut at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center on Fashion's Night Out, September 8th. From September 8th until September 15th,...

There are now 3 grilled cheese trucks in NYC, but Gorilla Cheese NYC was the first one of them.  I've tried out a few specialty sandwiches, but haven't had one of their basic sandwiches. Last week I had a grilled turkey, cheddar and tomato sandwich ($8.50) from Gorilla Cheese NYC, which I didn't have a chance to post until today. This...

With the weather expected to be rainy for the next few days, you can still enjoy great street food indoors from some of your favorite vendors.  Here's brick-and-mortar news from a few of them - Big Gay Ice Cream Truck, Mexicue and Cupcake Stop. On Saturday, the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop opened at 125 East 7th St between 1st...

It's been a long year.  Time for some R&R. New York Street Food will be on vacation this week, returning Tuesday, Sept 6th.  A couple of things before we go: If you want to see where the food trucks are at any time, just check our Mobile Munchies twitter feed, which has over 75 vendors.  Our Mobile Munchies twitter feed doesn't...

In addition to the Vendy Award finalists voted on by the public, the Vendys people usually try to nominate one vendor who is not well known to the midtown or downtown hordes. In 2009, Country Boys Tacos was not well known to people in Manhattan, and their winning of the Vendy Cup brought a lot of attention to them, as...

A relatively new addition to the New York Street Food scene is the Katchkie Truck.  I've only eaten there once, a few weeks ago, but their pulled bbq chicken sandwich was phenomenal! The truck has a small menu with only a farm burger, farm veggie burger and either a pulled bbq chicken or pork sandwich.  Last week when I was...

The last Mobile Munchies post was the calm before the storm, and today it's the calm after the storm.  Hope everyone came through ok. It's a mixed bag this beautiful day, with some trucks on the street and some taking an extra day to prepare before heading out tomorrow.  Below are the trucks that will be out today, as long...
