New York Street Food

The news that Mexicue is opening a restaurant this summer was a reminder that I hadn't yet been to the Schnitzel & Things restaurant at 723 Third Ave, between 45th & 46th St.  It's still relatively new, having only opened about a month ago. As I've said in numerous interviews, reading about and then trying the Schnitzel & Things truck...

Have to get this out early today.  It's Earth Day, and a few of the trucks like Sweetery and Rickshaw Dumpling are by the big Earth Day celebration in Grand Central. The street vendor wars are flaring up again, and Cupcake Crew is in the middle of it for the 2nd time this week.  Two days ago, they parked in...

Yesterday's free slider from the Korean Mobile Kitchen got me thinking about galbi, Korean BBQ short ribs.  You normally wouldn't expect to get galbi on the street - but this is New York, and we have an amazing selection of street food here. In fact, Bapcha on 49th st between 6th & 7th Ave has galbi, dak galbi, bulgogi, saewoo...

  Correction - Crisp is not out until next Thurs, April 28th. There's another new truck out for lunch this beautiful day - Crisp On Wheels.  It's the mobile version of the falafel restaurant that has 2 locations in midtown and one downtown.  If you want to learn more about Crisp, their website is here, twitter is here, and facebook is...

I spoke with Sean from Feed Your Hole last night, and he had 2 pieces of news to report. Feed Your Hole will have a limited supply of their artfully named new sliders, Syc Fcks, and they will be trying out a new spot at 18th St & 5th Ave. UPDATE: They will be at theior regular spot on 30th...

I walked by Cupcake Stop at lunch and took this picture, with the intention of stopping for a cupcake on the way home. What I didn't know was that one of the bosses bought 3 dozen (!) cupcakes from Cupcake Stop for one of our co-workers birthdays.  He is taking some time off for medical leave starting tomorrow, and we...

With the Korean Mobile Kitchen giving away free sliders only two blocks from my office today, I was able to sneak over to Broadway between 58th & 59th St for a quick taste. This week they are featuring 5 different sliders from Danji restaurant, and I was lucky enough to get a short rib slider today. The slider came with a...

I've been to Bistro Truck fairly regularly over the past few months for a couple of reasons: Yassir keeps coming up with new daily specials that I want to try, and the food is reliably delicious. There was another new menu item that I've seen a couple of times, but this is the first chance I've had to try it. ...

Lots of tasty news for today - 4/20. We're finally getting some action by my office near Columbus Circle - Cupcake Stop is back with 2 trucks, one on 58th St & 8th Ave and one in Park Slope; the Korean Mobile Kitchen will be on Broadway between 58th & 59th St giving away FREE short rib sliders; and one...

It took less than a year, but Mexicue, a 2010 Vendy Award Finalist in the Rookie of the Year category, is the next food truck to be opening a restaurant. As mentioned in the NY Times, Mexicue will be opening a two-level restaurant by Madison Square Garden and Penn Station at 345 Seventh Ave at 30th St. Hopefully, this will cut...
