New York Street Food

Last month Community Board 3 voted on a resolution against the city being able to place food vendors in the triangle between Third and Fourth Avenues when Astor Place and Cooper Square are re-developed next year. The re-development plans are pretty far-ranging, with streets getting closed off and additional greenery being planted. The concerns from the Board are that vendors in...

Spring is here (rain and all), and what better sign is there than the return of Mister Softee trucks on the street.  Sure beats a robin redbreast in my book. A few weeks ago, we presented an article written by Matt Faccenda, one of Miss Softee's new crew, The Rolling Cones, about his experience going from an I.T. department employee...

Since the weather was pretty bad, and I had a lot of work to do, I walked over to Burrito Box at 885A Ninth Ave (57-58 St).  Burrito Box ix in our Honorary Street Food category, which are storefronts with few or no tables that serve what is generally considered to be street food. Last time I was there, I...

A few of the trucks are not out today due to repairs, private events or other reasons.  But you can still get some great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out in case anyone had to move at the last minute.  Eddie's...

We saw a pretty cool event in Brooklyn next weekend that Frites 'N' Meats tweeted about - and it's a fundraiser for a very good cause - public school arts education. Touch-A-Truck Brooklyn will let kids climb inside, touch and explore the trucks you see everyday, plus a bunch of other cool vehicles.  All proceeds will benefit the arts programs...

I've previously been to the Kimchi Taco Truck for two of their main courses - kimchi tacos and a kimchi bowl.  The main course I haven't tried yet was a kim-cheesesteak, and today was the day. I wasn't sure whether to get beef or pork, but one of the owners, Phil, suggested pork because that's his favorite.  Her also recommended...

Looks like the rain will hold off until after lunch, so you can enjoy some great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. As always, make sure to check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out. Frites 'N' Meats already had to move because of a movie shoot. Chefsamirtruck is on Old Slip...

Some new information coming from the people behind the soon-to-be Gorilla Cheese NYC truck. In addition to some new pictures on their website, Gorilla Cheese NYC says they are "working hard to hit the streets by May 1st-ish". We are definitely looking forward to some creative grilled cheese sandwiches made with local breads and other quality ingredients. You can follow them on...

While street food is rapidly gaining in popularity across the USA, the pace has been much slower in the UK. We were in London 5 months ago, and the street food scene was pretty small.  There were some decent street food stalls in the Portobello Road market and tons of international street food stalls at the Sunday Upmarket in Brick...

Just like with my recent visit to Kabab Express, I had not been to the Little Morocco cart on the NE corner of 39th St & 7th Ave in about a year.  They are one of the few carts that has fish over rice, which is what initially caught my attention.  They also had a short line and steady...
