New York Street Food

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

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...
