New York Street Food

I was in the mood for Indian food, and have recently been to Biryani Cart a few times to check out some new items, so I headed 2 blocks south to the My Biryani cart on the SW corner of 6th Ave & 44th St for a change of pace.  I previously had a really nice lunch of chicken...

It's finally sunny out, but pretty cold.  Warm up with some hot New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Hot soup? Easy! Tomato basil from Taim Mobile, chicken noodle from Frites 'N' Meats or Manhattan clam chowder from Cake & Shake at the Met. Free cupcakes? Easy! Sweetery is giving away free cupcakes through...

Tickets for the 2011 Lucky Rice Festival go on tomorrow.  If you're not familiar with this festival, it's about as high-end as these things get, with top chefs such as David Chang, Anita Lo and Mashaharu  Morimoto presenting various Asian-themed events. There's a James Beard Dinner, a Morimoto Dinner, sake & shochu tastings, cooking demonstrations, and a repeat of one...

The Sydney, Australia food blog Noodlies had a short item about Coc, a tropical fruit from Vietnam and is now being sold in Cabramatta, a Sydney suburb. According to Noodlies, the English name is ambarella or otaheite apple.  It has a crunchy flesh, a slightly bitter green skin, a hard seed in the center, and is about the size of...

Before I went to LA, I read a tweet from Mexicue, the current New York Street Food Featured Vendor about a new menu item - a chili bread bowl.  I've always enjoyed bread bowls from Au Bon Pain, but didn't have a chance to visit Mexicue until today, and this seemed like the perfect meal for a cold winter...

The worst of the storm appears to be over.  Some New York Street Food vendors made it out today - the trucks below and the carts on the right - so give them your business.  If you don't see a food truck below, they probably didn't make it out. Some of the trucks offer pre-ordering by phone. We highly recommend...

When I was in LA last week, the LA Times got all breathless about a new food truck event called Truckit Fest that will gather together dozens of LA's food trucks at downtown Union Station on the first Sunday of each month, beginning March 6th. According to the LA Times, the big news is this event will feature table service. If...

When I was in LA last week, I read about a new Korean taco truck on Thrillist called Big D's Grub Truck.  It took a little while for the Korean taco trend to head east from Kogi BBQ in LA to The Krave in NJ to Korilla BBQ and the Kimchi Taco Truck in NYC - and now...

It's a mixed bag today - some trucks are out and some have stayed in.  Below are the trucks we know are out. If you don't see someone, assume they are out, but you can always check the Mobile Munchies twitter to make sure. schnitzeltruck Morning guys. The Schnitz mobile is coming to 46th between 5th & 6th. The OG Schnitz...

One of the stops I had to make in LA was Coolhaus, who are best known for their architecturally themed ice cream sandwiches.  Back in September, when I saw they were coming to NY in Spring 2011, I did a short post about it, which Natasha from Coolhaus noticed and wrote to thank me. I asked Natasha to keep me...
