New York Street Food

We had a party last night to watch the final show of "Lost" and everyone came as a different character from the show.  The menu was Hawaiian roast pork loin (killed courtesy of John Locke), mango & papaya salsa, pineapple fried rice and a Lost-themed chocolate cake for dessert. Below from left are Michael, Kate, Bernard & Rose (who are...

I was in the mood for a chicken parmigiana hero, so I went to Jianetto's truck on 47th St between Park & Madison Ave. for Today's Lunch.  It cost $7.50, about what most chicken parmigiana heros cost in midtown pizzerias. Upon opening up the sandwich two things caught my eye.  First was all the cheese dripping on the edge of...

It's kind of a dark morning, but no rain.  It should get better as the day progresses.  The cool weather is perfect to enjoy some great street food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below.  Remember, today is the first day for some free Ben & Jerry's ice cream.  They are included on our Mobile Munchies...

The hotel suite he has been staying in New York would easily cost $350 per night, but for about $8 he has been enjoying delightful street food at almost every meal. "I wonder if there is...

When I went to Kim's Aunt Kitchen cart a few months ago on West 46th St, just east of 6th Ave (bet 6th & 5th Aves), it was for the fried flounder & shrimp combo, which was pretty good.  Knowing their Korean origins, it was time to try the bulgoki (aka bulgogi), a thinly-sliced beef bbq dish that is...

How about that weather today?  Wonderful!  Perfect day for some street food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below.  The Schnitz guys have some free rice balls with meat sauce-1 per person. As always, make sure you check the pink Mobile Munchies twitter feed on our homepage before heading out.  The food trucks sometimes have to move...

As part of an innovative experiment starting next month in New York City, some food carts and other street vendors will be accepting credit cards for purchases.  It's the brainchild of the Street Vendor Project , the same people behind the popular Vendy Awards.  The initial test will be a few carts in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx.  If...
