New York Street Food

We received the following email late yesterday. "My name is Moe and I'm launching a new food truck in NYC called Wall Street Burgers. The food truck will hit the streets of NYC early May 2011. You can follow us @Wallstburgers and at www.wallstreetburgers.com." Moe also told us that he left a 10 year Wall St career to start this food...

We were recently given a bottle of Maker's Mark bourbon, and thought it would be a good way to dust off the old Friday's Recipe feature. For a while, we were posting recipes every Friday for you to try over the weekend - but pretty soon, we started running out of recipes.  We featured recipes from other people, but there...

How does a food truck stay fresh in the challenging New York street food scene, where there are new trucks coming out seemingly every week? If you're Mexicue, a 2010 Vendy Award finalist in the Rookie of the Year category, you do it by crowdsourcing menu ideas. Each month, Mexicue will feature a new "monthly ingredient" and ask people to submit...

I had an opportunity to have lunch today at the Calexico Carne Asada cart on Wooster St, and that's not something that should be taken lightly. Calexico won the top 2008 Vendy Award with their cart in Soho, and have since expanded with a 2nd Soho cart, two carts in NYC parks, and two restaurants in Brooklyn.  Guess good things...

First it was Korean taco trucks, now it's grilled cheese trucks! We went from 0 to 3 Korean taco trucks in the space of a few months, and now it looks like grilled cheese is the new Korean taco. We previously told you about the upcoming Milk Truck and Gorilla Cheese NYC truck. Now, Fork In The Road is reporting that a...

The Wall St Journal recently investigated the shadowy world of food cart permits, and (surprise, surprise) found a thriving black market where prices to "rent" permits are rapidly escalating due to the burgeoning popularity of street food. They cite a hot dog vendor in the Bronx whose "rent" paid to the actual permit owner has doubled to $14,000 for a...

Last week I went to Kabab Express for the first time in a while, and wanted to try a beef kabab.  I've had their delicious chicken kababs and koobideh kababs, but not the beef yet.  So I went back again today to try a beef kabab, but Jawid told me they usually only have chicken and koobideh kababs. But Kriss,...

The World Financial Center is kicking off the spring season with the return of its food kiosks and the opening of a Greenmarket on Thursday, April 7th. Food kiosks from Ed's Lobster Bar and Quality Burger will be back again, and a new Fatty Cue food kiosk will be opening within the next few weeks.  Click here for Ed's Lobster...

For some reason, I had a hankering today for a blue cheese burger.  Luckily, Frites 'N' Meats was not too far away, so I headed over there.  It must be my lucky day, because the line wasn't bad either. Today's Lunch is a blue cheese burger with onion jam ($7) and an order of hand-cut fries ($3) from Frites 'N'...

Looks like a beautiful day in the Big Apple.  Perfect for enjoying some great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Our friends from Kelvin Slush are back out on the street, so you can get their Vendy Award winning slushes again. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in...
