New York Street Food

On the way back to the office a few minutes ago, we saw the Casa Barilla truck setting up on Broadway between 58th & 59th St.  They will open at 4pm. We told you about the Casa Barilla truck a few days ago that was giving out free "dinner kits".  Each kit will include a box of Barilla spaghetti, fresh...

I happened to be near Washington Square Park around lunch today, which is always a good excuse to visit Thiru at NY Dosas. Most people familiar with street food in New York are at least aware of NY Dosas, even if they haven't tried them yet.  Thiru won the Vendy Cup in 2007, and his cart is on Washington Square...

It looks like the rain will be gone for lunch today, so you can enjoy great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. There has been a lot of police and film crew activity today, leading to some variations on the usual Thursday spots.  Make sure to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed...

Last month, we told you about the new pilot program in Seattle that could serve as a possible blueprint for peaceful coexistence between restaurants and food trucks. Now Calgary has created a food truck pilot program as well.  The city, it's Business Revitalization Zones, and the food trucks all worked together to craft a solution could serve as a model...

People are always asking me how they can start a food truck business.  Right now, NYC is not the most hospitable place to open a food truck, but there are places friendlier climes, such as Washington DC.  Many cities are grappling with this question, and some are even coming down on the side of food trucks. Earlier this year, Entrepeneur...

I had to speak with a couple of the food truck owners, so I headed over to the Lot on 30th St yesterday where they were parked.  And since I was already there, how could I not get some schnitz? I just love the chicken schnitzel platter ($10) from Schnitzel  Things. I've been to Schnitzel & Things many times - in...

  It's a beautiful day out. Make sure to get some sun and great New York Street Food during lunch from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Red Hook Lobster is trying a new lobster roll at the LIC Food Truck Lot with apple chipotle mayo and bacon for only $10.  Now that's a good deal. Lots of other...

Interesting tweet from Korilla yesterday.  In case you missed it, the tweet said "Free lunch from @FoodNetwork for the first 100 ppl to show up on Friday at secret location!" As we've mentioned several times, Korilla BBQ is competing in Season 2 of The Great Food Truck Race, which premiered last Sunday on the Food Network.  Looks like they're cooking...

A new Technomic report offers some interesting food for thought on the future of food trucks. Technomic found that 91 percent of survey participants who are familiar with food trucks say that the phenomenon still has plenty of room to grow and is not a passing fad. Only 7 percent of consumers who have purchased food from food trucks in...

When I got out of the E train at the the 7th Ave station (53rd St) yesterday, I saw a cart with a bunch of people around it that said Tacos y Quesadillas Mexico.  I've been enjoying lunch from the Tacos y Quesadillas Mexico cart on 9th Ave between 58th & 59th St, and this had the exact same...
