New York Street Food

In our opinion, one of the best street vendors of high-quality food in New York is Bistro Truck.  They have been parked on the same block, 5th Ave between 16th & 17th St, since August 2009. Bistro Truck was founded by Yassir Z. Raouli, who was born in Morocco and came to New York about 9 years ago.  Yassir brings...

One of the lesser-known gems of the New York Street Food scene is the Trini-Paki Boys cart on the north side of 43rd St just east of 6th Ave.  They were on the south side of the street for many years, but had to move across the street due to construction.  It's a little tight across the street, squeezed...

A Midtown Lunch reader spotted a new truck on the street yesterday near Bryant Park called Mexicue that looks pretty awesome, so we checked out their website, and here's how they modestly describe the cuisine: "Mexicue is the sweet, sweet love child of red-hot Mexican cuisine and down-home, barbeque goodness.  We started mixing smoky and spicy in our own kitchen...

Last week we told you about a mobile wood-fired pizza cart in Calgary.  Looks like there's another one in Cincinnati (pictured above) - along with a bunch of other interesting new food trucks.

However, we were more interested in the Desi Truck's kati rolls.  (We were...
