New York Street Food

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The King of Falafel & Shawarma won the 2010 Vendy Cup and was recognized as the best street food vendor in New York this year.  Not only did they win the Vendy Cup, which is voted on by a panel of judges, but they also won the MasterCard People's Choice Award, voted on by everyone attending the Vendy's. Freddy (above,...

A few years ago I added a basic recipe for adobo rub to the list of recipes that always come to mind when deciding what to make.  It has all the most important attributes: You can change up the ingredients (fresh if you have it, dry will do fine); It works to season many different meats, veggies and rice; You can roast,...

Last night was the first chance I had to try A-Pou's Taste, a Vendy Award Finalist in the Rookie of the Year Category.  They recently opened a 2nd cart on the SW corner of 72nd St and Broadway that opens at 4pm and runs into the evening.  I went at 7pm and forgot to ask what time they closed,...
