MOBILE MUNCHIES FOR MON, DEC. 6TH

If you see a new truck called SweeteryNYC on Hudson and King, it's not new - it's Street Sweets with a new name and new truck skin.  The food is the same great stuff, although there are some new items as well. NYC Cravings is closing up for the winter after this week, so be sure to stop by for...

START THE DAY WITH SOME JAPANESE COFFEE IN A CAN

We know how much the Japanese love vending machines - and one of the staples of Japanese vending machines is canned coffee.  Nothing like a can of coffee in the morning to get yourself up and around! The coffee itself is generally pretty good, but the Japanese have a way with names that can be quite strange.  Inventorspot had a...

FRIDAY’S RECIPE: CHEESECAKE-MARBLED BROWNIES

We made cheesecake-marbled brownies for Thanksgiving dessert and they were excellent.  Brownies with cheesecake mixed in - how can you go wrong! The recipe was originally in Gourmet magazine, but as usual, my wife made some changes along the way.  This recipe is a definite keeper! For the brownie batter 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate,...

TODAY’S LUNCH: CHICKEN PARMIGIANA HERO FROM EDDIE’S PIZZA TRUCK

I've had a couple of "bar pies" from Eddie's Pizza Truck that were pretty good.  Now that they have heros for lunch, I wanted to try one out.  Chicken parm heros used to be a regular lunch item for me before I started eating street food every day for lunch.  Time to combine these two interests. Today's Lunch is a...

TODAY’S LUNCH: SPANISH SUB FROM THE WORLD’S BEST SANDWICH TRUCK

healthy food
About 3 months ago when I was at the World's Best Sandwich truck (20th St between Broadway & Park Ave), I was almost tempted at the last minute by the Spanish Sub, but went with my original choice, chicken salad on a roll.  It was decent, but I should have listened to my heart! Today when I went there, the...

KOREAN STREET FOOD – ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ON A STICK

We ran across an article about Korean street food on Askmewhats.com and were struck by how interesting and varied the street food is in Korea - and how many things you can get on a stick! Hot dog & fries on a stick (above) - check! Sausage wrapped in seaweed, sausage stuffed with rice cakes and sausage wrapped in bacon (below)...

TODAY’S LUNCH: CHICKEN TINGA QUESADILLA FROM TACOS Y QUESADILLAS MEXICO

I wrote about a fairly new cart about a month ago called Tacos y Quesadillas Mexico that is on 9th Ave between 58th & 59th St.  While it's out of the way for many of the people working along 6th Ave or Park Ave, my office is near Columbus Circle, so I was excited to have a good Mexican...
