New York Street Food

The NYC Food Crawl held a Samosa Crawl recently and it was a rousing success.  More than 80 people met by Madison Square Park and split into teams of 6-8 people, many of whom did not know each other.  There were three separate routes covering a series of five restaurants in Curry Hill.   Click here for photos and more...

38th Street between Walnut and Locust 11am-9pm There are a bunch of food trucks in Philadelphia around Penn that serve Chinese food.  The  best advice for selecting which one to try, , as dispensed by Philly Bites: "As a general rule, go for the food truck with the longest line."

The smell that hits you as soon as you go up the stairs of the Grove Street PATH station in Jersey City: The Krave Truck.  (Thankfully, it's not the usual smell one associates with NJ.)  One of the owners, Nhon Ma, combines  Korean and Mexican food, such as galbi (Korean-style short ribs), spicy pork and sesame chicken served in...

I have  recently seen the Green Truck driving around NYC and was intrigued.  It is a truck dedicated to the idea of  serving healthy, gourmet organic food, and that "a healthy environment is tantamount to living a healthy life".  The Green Truck started in LA and now has a truck in NYC. Thankfully, the Green Truck doesn't look like this: I...

New York Street Food aficionados already know about the Dosa Cart on the south end of Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village.  Thiru "Dosa Man" Kumar won the top Vendy Award in 2007, and still has a very loyal following.
