TODAY’S LUNCH: SPICY PORK TORTA FROM EL REY DEL SABOR
I was in the mood for a sandwich for lunch, but not a lot of street vendors serve sandwiches. A good alternative is a torta or cemita from one of the better Mexican carts - and El Rey Del Sabor is one of the best.
They were 2010 Vendy Award Finalists, and have 3 carts - one at 49th &...
MOBILE MUNCHIES FOR THURS, JUNE 9TH
Wow, it's a scorcher today, but you find some great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below, and bring it back to your air-conditioned office. If you don't have an office, there are plenty of air-conditioned atria in midtown and downtown with public seating areas.
The police and some buildings have still been...
BREAKFAST BURRITO FROM BIG D’S GRUB TRUCK
I was on my usual route yesterday morning to the Houston St station when I spotted a yellow truck on Hudson St just below Houston. I'm used to seeing the blue Sweetery NYC truck there, so I went over for a closer look. (Sweetery was back there today.)
It turned out to be Big D's Grub Truck, who started serving...
GO BURGER OPENING A KIOSK ON WEST 38TH
We saw a tweet from GO Burger yesterday that said "Have you heard?! We're opening a GO Burger Kiosk @CasaNonnaNY! See you this Thursday at 310 W. 38th St!"
A little research, and we found more details about it on Zagat Buzz. Next door to Casa Nonna will be a GO Burger kiosk that will be serving the truck's menu. ...
GREEK PASTITSIO FROM UNCLE GUSSY’S
I couldn't eat lunch today because I had to go down to FiDi for the Eat St. shoot with Bistro Truck - but yesterday I made it over to Uncle Gussy's on the SE corner of Park Ave & 51st St for some of their Mom's pastitsio. That was a great meal!
When I got to the truck around 1pm,...
MOBILE MUNCHIES FOR WED, JUNE 8TH
It's a hot one today, but we'll be down at Water St & Old Slip for the Eat St. filming of Bistro Truck. Come by for some of Yassir's great cooking, and possibly get on TV. When they were here filming last summer, it was 96 degrees too. Can't these Canadians bring some cool air with them?
There are a...
EAT ST. IN TOWN FILMING FOR SEASON 2
Last summer, Eat St. came to town from Vancouver and filmed some New York street food vendors and bloggers for Season 1 of the show. I was filmed for the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck segment, and they also filmed Schnitzel & Things and Biryani Cart, from what I recollect.
This week and into next week, they are filming for...
FOOD TRUCK “LOT AT 30TH ST” OPENS TOMORROW NEAR THE HIGH LINE
The Lot At 30th St, the food truck space opening tomorrow at 30th St & 10th Ave, is looking pretty trippy. Gothamist got a sneak peek, and let's just say that some of the food trucks might have been serving psilocybin mushrooms when the designers came up with this idea. Yes, it's a perfect fit for the "High Line".
The...
HOW TO AVOID THE DREADED BRAIN FREEZE
Hat tip to Kelvin Slush for pointing us to Pat's Papers, where the NY1 broadcaster tells us how to avoid brain freeze.
First he directs us to a Minneapolis Star-Tribune article that explains the scientific reasoning behind the phenomenon that makes it feel like someone is stabbing you in the forehead.
Basically when something cold (ice cream or slush) touches something...
TODAY’S LUNCH: BCO DOG & VIDALIA ONION RINGS FROM GO BURGER
It's a beautiful day, and the Go Burger truck was on 55th by 7th Ave, only a few blocks from my office. Sounds like a good opportunity to try their BCO Dog.
A couple of weeks ago, I really enjoyed a Philly Burger from Go Burger, but I'm actually more of a hot dog/sausage/wurst guy, and the BCO Dog caught...
