New York Street Food

The 2010 Vendy Award Finalists were announced today for the dessert category.  Just like the main category, there were some expected finalists and one curve ball. We expected to see Big Gay Ice Cream Truck as a finalist. They were a double Vendy Finalist in 2009 for Dessert and Rookie of the Year.  They had some of the longest lines...

It's one thing when a venerable restaurant like Canters Deli or quality restaurant group like BLT  (Go Burger) put a food truck on the streets of LA or NY.  It's something else entirely when chains like Sizzler, Subway and Fatburger start putting food trucks out there.  If you think the food truck shark has already been jumped, in the...

I work on 57th St & Broadway, and there are not a lot of great street food vendors around here.  Carnegie John's and Jamaican Dutchy are the best, and then there's the rest.  For great street food I either go over to 6th Ave or Park Ave, and when I go to Park Ave, it's via the E train...

Korilla's motto is "The Mind-blowing Korean Tacos of NY and NJ" - and they've posted some photos...

I was looking through some of my past lunches and realized that I haven't had chicken over rice from Carnegie John's in over 6 months.  That's a long time since having one of my favorite street food lunches.  Time to rectify the situation. Today's Lunch is chicken over rice ($6) from Carnegie John's cart on West 56th St, just east...

It's a beautiful day for some great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Frites N Meats is giving away a month of free burgers to their 3,000th twitter follower, Kelvin Slush picked the winner of their new motto ("Kicking Slurpee's A$$ since 2010"), and Eddie's Pizza Truck is selling large pies for...
