The best food trucks in New York

I like that my holidays are also gastronomic holidays. I am not afraid of other flavors, other ingredients and I highly recommend taking a vacation from the native gastronomy when you are traveling. What the great cities of the world have is that they are cosmopolitan and bring together all cultures and therefore all cuisines.

Is what happens with New York: city of immigrants It is a city where oriental, Asian, American, European, vegetarian or vegan cuisine come together. And I'm not talking about restaurants, although of course there are and many, but modern ones. food trucks. You are going to travel? Then point out where to eat differently, on the street and with quality.

The Cinnamon Snail

It is a food truck widely known among vegan residents and travelers. There are trucks in New York and New Jerseyy to find out where they are, you just have to visit the company's website.

Its creator, Adam Sobel, had the desire to take vegan food to the streets, make it accessible to anyone who did not know it or to those who were even carnivores. He first worked twelve years in different restaurants vegetarian and vegan until he decided to take the food out to the street and show its colors and aromas to attract more people to that gastronomy. Good idea.

The first food truck appeared on the streets for Valentine's Day 2010 and today there are several locations and two restaurants, one in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn. In Manhattan there is a store on the corner of 33 Street and 7th Avenue. And how is the menu integrated?

As there kimchi korean barbecue and vegetables served in a grilled tortilla with chili butter, grilled tofu with teriyaki sauce served on a toasted pretzel with wasabi and mushroom burgers, for example. A main dish is around the U.S. dollar 8 and only accepts cash.

Biàn dang

For lovers of Asian cuisine this is Taiwanese cuisine food truck. It is a pale yellow truck decorated with bamboo and you can eat fish and rice, fried chicken, pork, dumplings, and lots of vegetables. For dessert, how about aloe vera jelly or a little chrysanthemum tea?

A little fried chicken on rice and with pork sauce costs U.S. dollar 7, four-piece pork dumplings with sauce cost $ 3, and a hard-boiled egg boiled in tea leaves with soy sauce and spices is barely $ 1.

This food truck is very new, it opened this summer, park every day in a different place Monday through Friday from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm and for weekends and holidays you have to check their Twitter.

Taïm mobile

Asian food has another exponent here, but Middle East. Its owners are a married couple living in the West Village. She is a chef and after traveling cooking around the world she decided to return to her culinary roots and ended up creating a menu inspired by the streets of Tel Aviv but gourmet style.

If you like the falafel Well, here you will try one of the best. Falabel balls in pita bread with hummus, Israeli salad and tahini sauce cost $ 7, salads are $ 10, fries are $ 5, and smoothies 5 dollars. Like all food trucks they vary from place to place and to locate them you visit Twitter. Accept cash only.

Nauti Mobile

Do you like lobster? They say here the best lobster rolls in New York are sold. What started with a building ended up expanding into a food truck that It serves lobster, crab, prawns, and pickles.

On Thursdays and Sundays you can find the original Nauti Mobile at Pier 13 in Hoboken, but the best is follow him on Twitter to find out where he is. The second truck usually appears in all the events of the city and you also locate it through the social network.

Calexico

Mexican food in charge of some brothers. Obviously, the menu is made up of tacos, burritos and quesadillas, guacamole, fries with cilantro, caramelized onions, cheese sauce, grilled corn on the cob, fajitas, chicken wings, salads and even beer tofu with mango sauce. For $ 3 you add beans and rice to your plate. Nothing bad.

Everything fresh and tasty. There are also dishes with roast beef, bacon and chicken and some options for vegetarians. There are several food trucks in New York and one is included in Brooklyn

Souvlaki

These are a couple of restaurants that also have a food truck. We are talking about greek cuisine so the truck seems to have come off the streets of Mykonos: all blue and white. The truck dates back to 2010 and although the menu is smaller than that of the "parent" restaurants, it is very good quality and good price.

You can ask pork or chicken souvlaki, Greek potatoes and Greek salad. In general you find it in the Wall Street and Midtown area and on the website you have all the locations for the week with the addresses.

Waffels & Dinges

It was time to start with the sweet, that food is not only salty. This food truck began as a sweet adventure back in 2007 and today it is a classic in the city. If you like waffles here you can order the classic Belgian waffles or Liège waffles with various options of toppings.

The truck is yellow and striking and you can also taste a ice cream, a milkshake, sweet pastry and coffee. Although there are a couple of stores, one on 15th avenue and the other on Butler street, there are food trucks in central park, in the Museum of Natural History and in Lincoln Center, riding a Times Square, Hudson River Park, Herald Square or Bryant Park.

They all run from 10 am until sunset.

Van Leewan Icre Cream Truck

For the summer there is nothing better than a cool ice cream. New York is a super hot city so it is good to try the ice creams by Van Leeuwan. They date back to 2008 and are known for their innovative flavors and the regional quality of its ingredients.

For example, there Ceylan's cinnamon ice cream or Earl Gray tea, Sicilian pistachio ice cream, French chocolate, vanilla, coffee, with mint chips, with ginger, with banana, with cookies, with lemon meringue and as if that were not enough, there are some vegan flavors also.

You can finish any ice cream with a refreshing mint tea, a vegan blueberry smoothie or a coffee. Today there is a permanent store in the East Village but also the food truck continues to turn.

These are just some of the options New York food trucks but they are among the best so don't lose sight of them: meat, vegetables and something sweet. For all tastes and palates.
