New York Street Food

Talk about perfect timing! Cupcake Stop (x 2) is back on the street today, just in time for 4/20 parties. They have 2 trucks -  one is parked at 58th St & 8th Ave, right by the Columbus Circle subway station and one is at 7th Ave bet 6th-7th street in Park Slope.  If you take a picture of either truck...

I will be on the radio tonight with Valerie Smaldone on Valerie's New York.  The show airs at 6pm on WOR 710AM. I've been on Valerie's New York twice before talking about the Vendy Awards and street food in general, but there never seemed to be enough time to cover everything I wanted. In tonight's segment, which is about 10 minutes...

Wow, time really does fly!  Tickets are now on sale for the 2011 Vendy Awards. If you recall, last year the big winner was the King of Falafel & Shawarma (who coincidentally we visited last week for lunch).  Freddy won both the Vendy Cup and the People's Choice Award. Souvlaki GR won the Rookie of the Year award (and has since...

It's been a while since I've been to the Kwik Meal cart on the SW corner of 45th St & 6th Ave.  Kwik Meal won the People's Choice Award at the 2007 Vendy Awards, and is one of the better street carts around.  The owner, Muhammad Rahman, was a sous chef at the Four Seasons, and knows his stuff. Kwik...

I live in the Village, and walking down Macdougal St last week, I saw a new storefront called Thelewala at #112 that caught my eye because of the neon sign in the window that said "Indian Cart Food".  I love Indian food and cart food, so we went in to investigate.  Luckily, it was dinner time. Thelewala is a good...

As if there wasn't already some great dessert news today, everybody's favorite Big Gay Ice Cream men, Doug & Bryan, will be back on the street in two weeks, on May 3rd.  You can find them at their usual spot on 17th St & Broadway, at the north end of Union Square. If you want a reminder just how good...

It's been very busy around here, with the recently announced New York Street Food Walking Tour, and a bunch of other things to do before I head to L.A. next weekend. With things being so busy, I went to one of the best street food carts within walking distance of my office. Today's Lunch is a spicy pork burrito ($6) from...
