New York Street Food

I'm currently in London and there is no street food scene here to speak of.   I will check a few places out over the weekend, but for now, here's an encore presentation of the chicken schnitzel platter I had back in March from Schnitzel & Things - from the Best Of Today's Lunch archives. The schnitzel gods must have answered...

I'm still out of town, but here's where the food trucks will be today. If you're a b-ball fan, Frites 'N' Meats is having former Knick Charles Oakley at their truck today, which will be downtown at Water & Broad. Korilla BBQ's crowd-sourcing experiment continues, which brings them to 54th & Broadway today.  (Too bad I'm out of town because that's...

One of the more surprising aspects of the rise of street food in the US is that the designs of the trucks, carts and trailers have kept pace with the food. From the Magic School Bus styling of the Grilled Cheese Truck in Los Angeles... to the Incredible Flying Soup Mobile in Atlanta... to Sugar Truck Philly...to our favorite metallic pig with...

I received an email last night from Velu Sami  of the Sami Dosa cart, which we've tried twice and wrote about here.  For everyone wondering why the Sami Dosa cart isn't on Broadway across from Letterman anymore, he wanted to let me know that the cart has moved to 39th & Broadway.  He asked if I could tell my...

NYSF Note: This lunch review is from about 10 days ago, which we didn't have a chance to post previously. About 6 months ago, I tried fish over rice from the Little Morocco cart on the NE corner of 39th St & 7th Ave.  They had a pretty standard street food menu, so I wanted to see how they did...

I'm currently in Europe, but here's where the trucks will be in New York today. Korilla "crowd-sourced" and will be on 55th & Lex by popular demand, and Uncle Gussy's is being inspected and will not be out today. Street Sweets has 3 different promotions going on this week, so make sure to check their twitter feed here to find out...

NYSF Update - 10/19/10:  I received an email from a representative of Pera who told me they are currently operating with a temporary truck while their permanent mobile food unit is being built.  They expect to have that truck in place at Tavern by mid-November and it will enable them to expand the menu a bit, as well as...

I received an email from Eddie of Korilla BBQ today saying they will be at Lexington & 55th tomorrow beginning at 11am. You can follow them on twitter here, or on our Mobile Munchies twitter feed. You can get a burrito where you choose your your protein, rice, sauce and kimchi or 3 tacos or 2 chompers where you choose...

I love anything made with phyllo dough.  I've enjoyed "cigars" at some of the Mediterranean street food vendors like Bistro Truck and the Comme Ci, Comme Ça Truck.  When I was in Washington DC last week, I also had cigars as an appetizer at a Turkish-American  restaurant that were very light and flaky, but were filled with ricotta cheese...

The street vendor migration continues, with the La Cense Beef (LCB) truck seeking greener pastures on 47th St between Lexington & Park Ave (closer to Lex).  This is the same block that the Steak Truck worked until they recently moved down to 24th St & Park Ave to try their luck there. Our former downtown correspondent, FiDi Mama, reviewed the...
