New York Street Food

  Back home in NYC, and there are still plenty of free goodies out there. Today is the last day for free ice cream sandwiches from Coolhaus. They will be at Madison Square Park fro 12-4. Feast of the Brave is still around, with free giveaways through May 7th.  Today they are on 48th St between 5th & 6th Ave. Lastly, Taste of...

One of the first trucks I read about in L.A. that really grabbed my attention was the Buttermilk Truck.  I remember saying back at the end of 2009 that we need a breakfast truck like this in New York.  Last night I finally had a chance to try them. The Hawaiian breakfast sliders looked interesting, as did the sausage biscuit...

For my last lunch in L.A., I had a choice between two trucks with punny names - either Middle Eastern food from the Pita Pusher or sliders from the Patty Wagon. I started the week with sliders from Baby's Badass Burgers, and decided against a slider from Rosa's Bella Cucina in favor of a regular sized sandwich.  What is this...

Are you ready for some free Coolhaus? Get down to Grand & Lafayette quickly, because the lines are gonna be off the hook! If you want some funkier free food, the Feast of the Brave will be on Hudson btw Charlton & King with ostrich, crickets, veal brains, scorpions and a few other exotic treats. There are plenty of other trucks...

I've really enjoyed the food in L.A. this week - Korean nachos, Yucatan pork tacos, Indian dosas, Japanese ramen. But some days you just want a sandwich.  Today was one of those days, and there were 2 great options to choose from. The Canter's Deli truck was parked right next to Rosa's Bella Cucina - hmmm, Jewish deli or a...

One of my favorite meals is ramen.  Nothing like a great broth with noodles and lots of other stuff in it, especially in the cold weather.  After trying some Korean snacks from Ahn-Joo, I came across Rokyo Gourmet Ramen and knew immediately what I was having for dinner at the Highland Park Din-Din-A-Go-Go. Well, it's not cold in L.A., but...

At the Highland Park Din-Din-A-Go-Go, there were 7 trucks parked along a narrow stretch of a parking lot.  Before checking out all the trucks, I decided to have a couple of Korean nibbles from Ahn-Joo, which means "snack" in Korean.  Their philosophy is to serve Korean pub food from the truck. This truck and a bunch of the others seem...

You're going to have to wait one more day for the Coolhaus free ice cream sandwich giveaway. With the rain, they decided to move todays' Madison Square Park stop to Monday. But you can still partake of the free Feast of the Brave for lunch on 23rd btw 5th & 6th Ave. and for dinner on 3rd Ave btw 24th...

As I mentioned in my post yesterday about the Border Grill, since they ran out of churro tots, I needed something else to get me through the afternoon until dinner.  Luckily, Let's Be Frank was right next to the Border Grill truck. After I ordered a bratwurst ($5.50), he asked if I wanted Devil's Sauce, mustard and sauerkraut on it. ...

As we've been mentioning for a while, Coolhaus will be giving away free ice cream sandwiches out of the Firefox Truck for the next few days.  The giveaways will be from 12pm - 4pm on the following days and at these locations: With the super ominous weather forecast for tomorrow, Coolhaus just told us they are rescheduling the Madison Square Park visit...
