STREET SWEETS IS NOW SWEETERYNYC (AND STILL AS SWEET)

On the way to the 1 train this morning, I encountered the new SweeteryNYC truck.  You can tell by the design that it's the same truck with the same delicious treats, but they had to change their name for legal reasons. You can still get croissants and brioche filled with creams, preserves, dulce de leche or several other choices, muffins...

THE LATEST FOOD TRUCK TO STORE CROSSOVER NEWS

Lots of action on the food truck to store (or restaurant) front. Last weekend we went to brunch at Elephant & Castle on Greenwich Ave in the Village.  Right next door at 70 Greenwich Ave (just east of 7th Ave) is where the new Cupcake Stop Flagship Store will be opening, hopefully in a week or two according to Lev...

TODAY’S LUNCH: CEVAPI & A CHEESE BUREK FROM THE NEW CEVAP TRUCK

Last week after I got a Spanish Sub from the World's Best Sandwich truck, on the way back to the subway at 23rd & Broadway, I saw a green truck on the street that I hadn't seen before.  It said Cevap Truck and it looked pretty interesting, but I already had lunch in my hand. I did a little research...

TODAY’S LUNCH: TAIWANESE FRIED CHICKEN & PORK CHOPS FROM NYC CRAVINGS

When NYC Cravings tweeted they were closing the truck for the winter after this week, I wanted to get another fix of their Taiwanese fried chicken to hold me until next spring.  I first had NYC Cravings at the 2009 Vendy Awards, where they were nominated in the Rookie of the Year category.  They didn't win (Schnitzel & Things...

INDIAN STREET FOOD BASICS

Whenever you travel to a new country, be sure to try as much of the local food as possible.  The best way to do this is to sample the street food.  Kevin Burke of CMC Forum talks about some of the basics of Indian street food: "India’s got a great tradition of food stands.  India is also a great place...

TODAY’S LUNCH: CLASSIC BANH MI FROM BAOGUETTE

I was in the West Village around lunch today and remembered that Baoguette/Pho Sure has a location at 120 Christopher Street (between Bleecker and Bedford). With the weather being cold and windy, an Honorary Street Food lunch seemed like a good idea - that is, a storefront or small restaurant with few or no tables that serve what is commonly...

MOBILE MUNCHIES FOR MON, DEC. 6TH
