New York Street Food

If you have a taco stand in a food court, how do you get people to come in?  By imitating a food truck, of course! El Coche, on the food court level of City National Plaza in downtown L.A., has a food truck drawn on their window.  But it gets even better when you go inside. To order, there's a fold-up...

This recipe gives you the great moo shu taste without having to worry about making or finding Chinese flour pancakes.  It's healthier this way, too. As with most moo shu recipes, you can use pork, beef, shrimp or mushrooms instead of chicken.  A little cooking in the wok, roll into the lettuce, and eat.  Simple and tasty. Moo Shu Chicken Lettuce...

I had an opportunity to be in Soho around lunchtime, a rarity, so I had to go back to Calexico Carne Asada.  You probably know who they are, but if you don't, Calexico were winners of the top 2008 Vendy Award.  They currently have 2 carts in Soho (Wooster & Prince and Crosby & Broome), a cart in Brooklyn...

It's a beautiful day out, but things are pretty crazy around here right now.  Without further ado, here is where you can find today's Mobile Munchies. A lot of the trucks will be at different events for Fashion's Night Out tonight.  There are too many events to list, but you can check where each truck will be on our Mobile...

The Bulgogi & Kimchee Cart on 49th St between 6th & 7th Ave got a makeover last month.  It's now known as Bapcha, which literally means "food cart" in Korean.  I've had their dak kalbi (short ribs), bulgogi (barbecued beef) and spicy chicken.  Trying something new, Today's Lunch is the saewoo bulgogi (barbecued shrimp) for $8. There were 8 medium-sized...

It's a great day to enjoy some New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Show your favorite street food vendors some love today, and possibly even get on camera.  PBS is filming at Schnitzel & Things all day, and Fox News will be at Eddie's Pizza Truck at 2:15. Check below for locations. As...

Most Americans are familiar with Chinese and Japanese food, and Thai food has gotten pretty far into the mainstream too. Vietnamese food is still not well known in the US, although banh mi is gaining more fans every day.  Whether that has to do with the Nom Nom Truck kicking butt on the Great Food Truck Race, or just the...

I wasn't sure what to do for lunch but had to be near Union Square, so I decided to stop by Num Pang Sandwich Shop, an old favorite on East 12th St, just west of University Place.  It was pretty busy, with a line of about 7-8 people, but that's what happens when word gets out about how good...

Should be a nice day for some great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Street Sweets has hundreds of samples to give away, but they are not in their usual truck.  Look for them in a black & white Saks Fifth Ave truck - this week only for Fashion Week.  To get...

The road is littered with carcasses of failed food festivals - an apt metaphor for the latest casualty - Parked on Governor's Island last Sunday.  Parked is only the most recent instance from a long line of failed street food events. Some of the events, such as the L.A. Street Food Festival, the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market, and the NY...
