New York Street Food

After having a wonderful lunch from Pies -N- Thighs at the Columbus Circle Holiday Market, I went back again for Today's Lunch, which is a braised beef sandwich ($7) from Fatty Crew, the people behind Fatty Crab and Fatty Cue. Since the sandwich looked a little on the small side, I also got a cinnamon raisin pretzel from Sigmund Pretzelshop...

NYSF Update: The Kimchi Taco Truck tells us they are taking their time to ensure every operational detail is perfect, and they anticipate a splash early Jan. near Midtown. The Kimchi Taco truck we told you about nearly 2 months ago is getting closer to mouth-watering reality...and now they have the photos to prove it! Phil Lee and Youngsun Lee (who...

How would you improve the food truck of today?  A class of USC architecture undergrads recently took up this task, and Curbed LA had the details. "This semester, Jennifer Siegal of the Office of Mobile Design taught a topic studio for USC architecture undergrads called "Generation Mobile: Exploring the Deployable, 'Free-Range Cuisine' Truck Culture." Her students met chefs, mobile business...

I wanted to do a little holiday shopping on the way home after work last week, so I stopped by the Columbus Circle Holiday Market.  There were a lot of the same booths and vendors as the Union Square Holiday Market that I checked out last weekend with one big exception - there were about half a dozen vendors...

It was a good weekend for getting some holiday shopping done.  Don't wait until the last minute this year. Most of the trucks and carts are out today, but Korilla will only be out for dinner tonight, Joyride is closed for one more day, and Taim is off the road today, too. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed for...

Chaat is a  plate of snacks, typically served at road-side stalls or carts in India and Pakistan.  It started in the northwestern state of Gujarat and has become immensely popular in the rest of India and South Asia. The word chaat derives from...

To help you get into weekend mode, here's a video recipe for how to make Long Island Iced Tea that was put together by Girls Mixing Drinks, which I found on Denver Food Guy's site. Long Island Iced Tea always cracks me up because I grew up on Long Island  - and didn't know anybody who drank them growing up! ...

Things are getting pretty busy, with a lot of things that need to be done before year-end.  In the interest of a quick lunch, I went back to Tacos y Quesadillas Mexico, which is a quick walk from my office. The cart has been on 9th Ave between 58th & 59th St for a few months, and last time I...

Yes, winter is still here - but you can stay warm with some great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. It's the last day for the NYC Cravings truck, but no worries - they will be opening a brick-and-mortar place in a couple of weeks called Bian Dang: Taiwanese Lunch Box in...

I received an email recently from the Malaysia Kitchen people, who must have liked my articles on Eat|Drink|Explore Malaysia Kitchen and the Malaysian Kitchen Food Truck, because I was invited to the Flavors of Malaysia cookbook launch at the Nnonya restaurant.  Although I could not make the event, I did some research on Nnonya food, and it looked pretty...
