New York Street Food

It's not a pretty day out, but most of the vendors are working today, and a bunch are working together to improve their working conditions. The NYC Food Trucks Association was recently launched, and currently has 32 trucks as members. Their first orders of business are to push for speedier licensing and the right to park and vend at metered...

TTT will be serving their excellent, authentic Mexican...

As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed before heading out, in case...

Today was the big day - the opening of the Souvlaki GR restaurant at 116 Stanton St.  We've been in touch with the people behind the Souvlaki GR truck since before it even opened last August, and were thrilled when they won the 2010 Vendy Award for Rookie of the Year.  It was like everyone else recognized what we...

One of the places Mike from Austin Food Carts recommended for my visit was Along Came A Slider.  He said they have real gourmet sliders, and his two favorites were scallop and lobster sliders.  That sounded awesome, and they were at 5th & Trinity, right in the middle of the SXSW madness. When I got to the truck, I told...

It's not too nice out, but there are several reasons to get out for some great New York Street Food today.

A few NYC food trucks are stepping up to help the Japanese people who were devastated by the recent earthquake and tsunami, and we hope even more will join this greatly-needed effort.
