We finally have some sun shining down upon us.  Hooray!  It's perfect weather for enjoying some great 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 on our homepage before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the last minute.  Mexicue...

KOREAN STREET FOOD BASICS (VIDEO)

Koreataste recently posted a video by Simon and Martina of Eat Your Kimchi.  It's less than 5 minutes, but includes a lot about the basics of Korean street food. You even get to hear them say the names of each dish that's included, so you can learn how to pronounce it. http://www.youtube.com/v/GzjajL1lOh0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3

TODAY’S LUNCH: CURRY CHICKEN FROM THE DESI TRUCK

After the Vendy Awards last weekend, I wanted something special for lunch.  I was thinking of trying the Calcutta Royal Biryani from the Desi Truck on the SE corner of 27th St & 5th Ave, but they didn't have it today.  I've already had their chicken onda kati roll (loved it), aloo masala kati roll (liked it), and chicken...

MOBILE MUNCHIES FOR TUES, SEPT 28TH

Seems like a bunch of trucks will not be out today due to various reasons.  Hopefully the rain will not be a problem today like it was yesterday. We had to get the Mobile Munchies post out early today, so please make sure to check the pink Mobile Munchies twitter feed on our homepage before heading out for lunch. Mexicue...

FOOD TRUCK LOT (RE)OPENING IN SANTA MONICA

For those NYSF readers who have been around a while, you may recall a post we did in early January about a parking lot in Santa Monica, CA (above) where the owner was trying to set up a place for food trucks to park and serve without any hassles.  Well, that didn't last long, as it was closed down...

BEST OF TODAY’S LUNCH: POACHED TILAPIA WITH OLIVE OIL & HERBS FROM BISTRO TRUCK

With the atrocious weather today, we're going to re-print an older Today's Lunch review.  This was one of our favorite lunches from Vendy Award finalist Bistro Truck that we had back in April.  They don't have the poached tilapia every day, so keep an eye out for it when you see it as their Daily Special. I happened to be...

MOBILE MUNCHIES FOR MON, SEPT 27TH

It was an exciting weekend with the Vendy Awards on Saturday.  Congratulations again to all the Vendy Finalists and to the Vendy Award winners - The King of Falafel & Shawarma (Vendy Cup and People's Choice Award), Kelvin Natural Slush Co (Best Dessert) and Souvlaki GR (Rookie of the Year). The weather may not be cooperating, but many of the...

VENDY AWARDS 2010: THE DESSERT CATEGORY

The Vendy Award Dessert category was a very difficult category to predict.  Any of the nominees could easily have been justified being chosen as the Best Dessert vendor, with 2 past Vendy finalists chosen again this year. But the people at the event voted, and they chose Kelvin Natural Slush Company as the Best Dessert.  This has to be the...

VENDY AWARDS 2010: ROOKIE OF THE YEAR CATEGORY

As we mentioned in our post about the Vendy Award winners, Souvlaki GR won the Rookie of the Year category.  Not a big surprise, as they had the longest lines of all the Rookie vendor nominees.  We've been talking about Souvlaki GR since before they hit the street at the end of August.  Thanks for backing up our hot...

VENDY AWARDS 2010: THE MAIN CATEGORY

We had a great time at the 2010 Vendy Awards yesterday, and there's a lot to cover, so let's get to it.  As you probably know by now, the Vendy Cup and the People's Choice Award were won by The King of Falafel & Shawarma.  Click here for our post detailing the winners in each category.  Pictured above is...
