SNOW DAY FOR MOST NEW YORK STREET FOOD VENDORS – BUT 2 ARE OPEN!

Most of the food trucks are not on the street today, although we did see some of the regular food carts in their usual places on the way in this morning. So far, the only trucks to take the plunge are Wafels & Dinges and Bistro Truck. Can't think of a better thing to eat in the snow than a warm...

SOUVLAKI SERVED THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE SERVED – WITH BEER!

Eater NY reports that Souvlaki GR's new restaurant on the Lower East Side was approved last night for a beer and wine license.  Now souvlaki can be eaten the way it was meant to be - with beer (or wine if you prefer). The 2010 Rookie of the Year Vendy Award Winner's new venture at 116 Stanton St will incorporate...

TODAY’S LUNCH: HALEEM FROM THE DESI FOOD TRUCK

I was in the mood for Indian food, and recently had fish curry from the Biryani Cart, so today I went to the  Desi Food Truck on 50th St between 6th & 7th Ave.  The Desi Food Truck used to be on 27th St & 5th Ave, but they recently moved to midtown.  In the process, they also expanded...

MOBILE MUNCHIES FOR TUES, JAN 11TH (1/11/11)

Today is the calm before another big storm.  Enjoy some great New York Street food today, because chances are you won't be able to tomorrow and possibly Friday. Bistro Truck has a wonderful baked tilapia, which we really enjoyed in the past, and Mexicue has a new item, bread bowls of smoked brisket chili.  Yum!  There are still a lot...

WINES THAT ROCK

New York Street Food would like to welcome a new advertising partner - Wines That Rock - 'The Official Wine of Rock 'N' Roll". Wines That Rock are the blend of great music with great wine.  Years in the making, Wines That Rock didn’t want to just slap cool labels on a bottle and call it a day.  They partnered...

TODAY’S LUNCH: TAIWANESE APPETIZERS FROM BIAN DANG (NYC CRAVINGS)

Last time I went to the NYC Cravings truck, Diana told me the truck was closing for the winter because they were opening a restaurant within a food court in Koreatown.  She also said the new place was called Bian Dang (Mandarin for "lunch box") and the truck's name would also be changed to Bian Dang next spring when...

MOBILE MUNCHIES FOR MONDAY, JAN 10TH

Lots of soup out there today - Uncle Gussy's has Mom's beef barley soup, Taim Mobile has black bean soup, Comme Ci, Comme Ça truck has vegetarian soup de Provence and...

AN ENGLISH GIRL’S TAKE ON THE BEST NYC MOBILE EATS

healthy food
We were approached by Charlotte, who writes for Simonseeks.com and wanted to tell us all about her favorite New York street food vendors.  We know what we like, but it's always interesting to hear opinions from others, especially when they're from exotic foreign lands (like the UK). We were in London a couple of months ago and the street food...

“PARK HERE” TO FIND SUMMER IN THE CITY

If you're one of those people who get kind of down during the winter, Tasting Table had an interesting event listed yesterday, and a little more research showed that Eater had something a few weeks earlier on the Park Here pop-up park. A Nolita gallery called Open House is being turned into an indoor park with a lawn, trees, park...

TODAY’S LUNCH: BASMATI ROYAL FROM THE COMME CI COMME CA TRUCK

The Comme Ci Comme Ça truck is definitely one of the better new food trucks around, with Chef Samir keeping the quality high on his dishes.  They ran into a string of bad luck a few months ago, with Chef Samir having elbow surgery and one of his chefs sustaining some serious burns, but they seem to be hitting...
