New York Street Food

As we told you last week, tomorrow is National Iced Tea Day, and to celebrate, Snapple is teaming up with 5 of the best food trucks in NYC to give away 1,000 free lunches...and even more free Snapple iced tea. We're talking real lunches, not the sample sizes usually given away in free promotions. This is one of the better...

I was over checking out the scene around Rock Center, where there has been a significant police crackdown on food trucks on 51st & 52nd St.  Well, it looks like the crackdown has moved down to 50th St between 6th & 7th Ave. Around 1:15, Big D's Grub Truck had a line of about 15 people, with another half dozen...

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 &...

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...

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...

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. ...

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,...

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...

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...

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...
