New York Street Food

I had to be by Union Square around lunch, which means Today's Lunch is an old favorite - Num Pang. Num Pang is a small storefront located at 21East 12th st btw University Place & 5th Ave with a few seats at counters upstairs, which puts it in our Honorary Street Food category. For new readers who may not be familiar...

Yes, it's Cinco de Mayo, so expect big crowds at all the Mexican food vendors today - Feast of the Brave, Mexicue, El Rey del Sabor, Eggs Travaganza and more. There are plenty of other vendors around too, so enjoy this beautiful day outside with some great New York Street Food. Don't forget to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed for...

The Zagat Food Truck Frenzy has gotten a lot of press and retweets from many of the food trucks involved - but just in case you haven't seen anything about it, here goes. Next Wed, May 18th, there will be 20 food trucks on 21st & 22nd St between 10th & 11th Ave serving lunch from 12-3pm.  A $12 ticket...

Kelvin Slush, the 2010 Vendy Award Winner for Best Dessert (and we're proud to say, our friends), just got the royal treatment from Andrew Zimmern on his Appetite For Life show. Andrew drives up to the Kelvin Truck and utters these priceless words: "My lips to God's ears, this is one of my must go to places. Cooling, refreshing, delicious..." Click...

Two pieces of information coming from the Calexico Carne Asada camp. We already told you about them opening a new cart by Madison Square Park, on 24th St & Broadway.  It was only operating on weekends for the first few weeks, but will also be open during the week starting tomorrow, May 5th. Calexico will be part of Madison Square...

Now it's all starting to make sense! Towards the end of March, one of New York's top food truck vendors told us (confidentially) they were contacted about possibly being in the 2nd season of The Great Food Truck Race.  It wasn't Korilla BBQ. At Choice Eats on March 29th, 3D from Korilla BBQ told us they will have a new truck...

The new Crisp On Wheels falafel truck hit the streets last week when I was in L.A., but I had a chance to get there today for a NYSF First Look.  They have six different types of falafel dishes, which you can get either in a white or whole wheat pita sandwich or in a salad. Today's Lunch is a...

Today's the day - the return of the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck!  As Doug tweeted earlier, "I'm off to get the truck set up.  Schedule today is 100% TBA- no idea what issues await."  Since Doug doesn't know what to expect on the 1st day of the season, make sure to check their twitter here for updates. There are...

  Here's your first look at the Gorilla Cheese NYC truck that will be hitting the New York streets later this week. I spoke with James, the owner, and he filled me in on a few details of where you will be able find them. First they will be doing a soft opening in the late afternoon and early evening  on Wed...

This is my first day back in the office after being in L.A. last week, so time for lunch was a little tight. A few weeks ago, I heard about some relatively new carts in Central Park with organic hot dogs and sausages, and thought it would be a nice, short walk from my office. Today's Lunch is an organic beef...
