New York Street Food

It's T-minus 25 hours to the Vendy Awards, the holiest day of the year for New York Street Food.  We will be heading to Governor's Island tomorrow to pray to the street food gods - and to eat our faces off :)  Don't expect all 15 Vendy finalists to be out today.  There's a lot of prep work that...

If you're not going to the Vendy Awards this weekend, or are (literally) a glutton for punishment looking for another food festival the day after the Vendys, the JapanTown Soul Food Festival is for you.  It takes place this Sunday, Sept 26th and will be on Lexington Ave from 93rd-95th Street from 11am-6pm. The Soul Food Festival celebrates local Japanese...

I didn't have much time for lunch today, so I went to one of the closest places to my office, the Burrito Box at 885A Ninth Ave (57-58).  Burrito Box is in the Honorary Street Food category since it is basically a storefront with only a couple of stools that sells street food.  Last time I had a burrito...

Another beautiful day, another dust-up on the street.  Eddie's Pizza couldn't park today at their usual spot of 52nd & Park and ended up parking on Papa Perrone's long-time block (55th bet Park & Madison).  Not cool!  Gotta respect the other trucks' spots.  Newcomers should be even more sensitive to the other vendors.  Eddie's tried to make nice, but...

Last weekend Guerrilla Ice Cream tweeted around an article about cannabis ice cream for sale in Santa Cruz, CA.  Well, this called for a little further investigation. From the Vancouver Sun: "Marijuana-laced ice cream, dubbed High Scream, hit shelves in Santa Cruz, Calif. this week. Crème de Canna is a pot-infused treat that sells for $15 and contains two to...

I hope everybody out there loves frozen desserts, because another gourmet ice cream truck is coming to NYC.  Coolhaus, with trucks currently in L.A. and Austin, is coming here next spring to take on an ever-growing list of ice cream and frozen dessert trucks. With several frozen dessert vendors nominated for past and present Vendy Awards (Big Gay Ice Cream...

This twitter thing seems to working out :).   I read about the Burger of the Week from Frites 'N' Meats - The Italian Job - and it was exactly what I was in the mood for. The Italian Job is an Angus beef patty with mozzarella and gorgonzola cheese, plus a parmesan cheese spread, bacon and salsa verde.  How...

It's a splendid day outside today.  Perfect for enjoying 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 any of the vendors had to move. StreetSweets - Good morning, Midtown! St Sweets is on...

Gourmet Food Trucks recently spent some time at Wyss Catering Truck Manufacturing as a new gourmet food truck was being created.  The featured truck is owned and operated by Claudia of Chunk-n-Chip.  She was nice enough to let them photograph the truck being built and painted prior to their official launch a couple of weeks ago at the first OC Foodie...

I had to be in Greenwich Village around lunch today, so I stopped into Mamoun's Falafel at 119 MacDougal St between West 3rd St & Minetta Lane. Mamoun's is a Village institution, first opening in 1971 and subsequently opening branches at 22 St. Marks Place in the East Village and in New Haven, CT.  With a perpetual line out the...
