New York Street Food

Air France isn't the only one giving out free food created by star chefs for a food truck promotion.  Two more free food trucks have been announced for now.  (We're sure there will be more coming.) The History Channel will have a Cajun-themed truck on the street next week.  Zagat Buzz (via Gothamist) is reporting that the network's truck will...

When we went to the Kimchi Taco Truck a couple of weeks ago for our First Look, we tried a Kimchi Taco Set with assorted tacos.  While the fillings were very good, we had a problem with tortilla breakage, and ended up having to use a fork. Since we had to travel back to the office with lunch again, we...

It's a cool, sunny day outside, but things are heating up on the New York Street Food scene. If you want a burger, Feed Your Hole has a special Amsterdam Burger and Frites 'N' Meats has a special Maker's Mark (bourbon) burger. It's also International Wafel Day.  You can get a free wafel by wearing red, black & yellow, the national...

We received the following email from Ms. Vanderindevoorde, Minister of de Culinary Affairs Dear Friends in Amerika, Friday, March 25 marks International Wafel Day. Again. Just like last year and the years before. We at the Ministry are delighted to see de very Belgian Wafels finding their way to happy mouths in the big NYC, yes. Our Special Envoy at Wafels...

Even though I had lunch at the Comme Ci Comme Ca truck today, the Air France free food promotion was in full swing only a few blocks away, on 42nd St between 7th Ave & Broadway. The line was pretty long, but since they were giving it away for free, I didn't wait more than about 10 minutes. How was the...

I was just below Times Square again today, and decided to stop by the Comme Ci, Comme Ca truck for lunch. The truck moves around to several locations throughout the week, but is by 38th St & Broadway pretty regularly.  To be sure, check their twitter account here before heading over. I was thinking of trying the chicken stroganoff, but when...

Well, that was interesting weather we had last night.  I crunched on sleet the whole walk home from the subway. Today should be much better. It's chilly, but you can warm up with 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...

Looks like Austrian Airlines is not the only airline giving out free food from a truck. As reported by Gothamist, the "Air France Gourmet Food Truck" will be serving up free food from chef Joël Robuchon—one of the celebrity chefs who has his name attached to the airline's food services. No word yet on the menu, but we will check out...

The Friends of the High Line (FHL) has put out a request for proposals for the park, with a goal of getting final proposals in by April 14. According to Gothamist, they are looking for three concessions areas in sections 1 and 2 of the park, and one area will allow vendors to sell beer and wine! According to the...

I previously enjoyed some dosas from Velu Sami of the Sami Dosa cart when it was on Broadway & 53rd St, across from the Late Show at the Ed Sullivan Theater. Velu moved his cart to the SW corner of 39th & Broadway a few months ago, and I haven’t had a chance to stop by his new location, until...
