New York Street Food

I've been wanting to get back to Kebab Express, on the southeast corner of 55th St and 6th Ave, since enjoying their grilled chicken kebab over rice in January, right after they opened.  They are a relative newcomer to the New York Street Food scene, but appear to have gained a following in the past 6 weeks.  I can...

...Macarons.  The French desserts that look like psychedelic oreos, are crisp meringues of sweetened egg whites and almond flour sandwiched around a ganache, buttercream, or fruit puree.  They come in dozens of flavors like raspberry, lemon, pistachio, chocolate and caramel, and even some unusual ones, like foie gras, white truffle, rose and violet.  Macaron bakers pride themselves on fashioning...

It's been a very busy week, and I don't have time to go far from the office again, so it's back to Carnegie John's cart on West 56th St just east of 7th Ave (right behind Carnegie Hall). As I've written before, his chicken over rice platter is significantly better than most of the other food carts because he uses...

I didn't have much time for lunch today, so I had to stay right near my office.  Therefore, Today's Lunch is from the Rickshaw Dumpling Truck, parked every Wed. on West 57th St and 8th Ave, half a block from my office. There were no specials today, and I had the thai chicken basil dumplings a couple of weeks ago,...

A lot of people we know will be heading down to Austin soon for the SXSW Music+Film+Interactive Festival, which runs from March 12-21.  These festivals always raise the same question. Where can we get good food for a reasonable price, and have some fun, too? Just like New York has a well-developed street food culture and L.A. is in the...

I've been hearing good things about the Bistro Truck, so Today's Lunch is their merguez sandwich. The Bistro Truck has been around for a while, and features North African French-inspired cuisine, such as tajines, chicken and lamb brochettes, dijon chicken, marrakech lamb, couscous, and they also have a well-regarded hamburger. The merguez sandwich featues a spicy grilled lamb sausage served...
