New York Street Food

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...

It's definitely autumn weather, perfect for enjoying some hearty New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. As always, make sure to check the pink Mobile Munchies twitter feed for the latest info. Mexicue Midtown was crazy, TriBeCa it is... Church St between Walker St & Lispenard St. Open at 11:15. PapaPerrone We will...

Do you love chocolate cupcakes?  Do you have a great chocolate cupcake recipe? If either of these apply to you, read on. Scharffen Berger is holding the Chocolate Adventure Contest, with the top prize winner receiving $10,000, as well as having your recipe published in Food Network Magazine.  The second prize is $7,000 and third prize is $3,000, along with...

The NY Times had an interesting article yesterday on the great equalizer of restaurants: the health department tribunal, a little-publicized court system that metes out penalties for violations of the city sanitary code. "It has been there for years, in a nondescript government office in Lower Manhattan where more than a dozen administrative law judges escort their charges into cramped...

I saw on twitter that Chef Samir was back on the street with the Comme Ci, Comme Ça Truck.  This was one of the more promising new trucks in the middle of the summer, but misfortune has reared its ugly head a couple of times, and they have only been on the street sporadically since then. The first time I...
