Their lobster red shack on wheels will feature Urban Lobster Shack's signature fare, including their Famous Lobster Roll (at the suspiciously fair price of $13), hand-cut Old Bay French Fries, and Fried Clam Strip Roll. more ›

When food trucks started getting kicked out of pretty much every neighborhood in Manhattan, a handful of vendors decided to take their business across the Hudson and set up shop in Hoboken.

A Queens food vendor who allegedly used the power of a foreign name to help him escape from $90,000 in health violations has been busted, after switching one too many letters around. It's kind of like that time no one knew how to spell "Gadhafi", but with more street meat. more ›

Earlier this week, we heard the rumblings of some new legislation designed to curb the spread of mobile food vendors, who have already been facing down opponents in Midtown, the Upper West Side and Park Slope. Today, the Post reports that UWS Councilwoman Gale Brewer has indeed introduced a new bill, requiring the Department of Health to report the number of permits it issues each year to food trucks and carts, as part of a larger plan to regulate trucks overall. We spoke to Brewer to find out what exactly her beef with food trucks and carts is: more ›

While street vendors have had a rough go of things lately in Manhattan, over in Queens they're doing just fine, as evidenced by the throngs of carts and trucks lining Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, Elmhurst and Corona. There are hundreds of carts, serving up everything from tacos to ceviche to paan. Don't know where to start? That's where "Queens Qustodian" Jeff Orlick comes in. more ›

Have food trucks jumped the shark Gap? The once inescapable clothier has decided to follow in the recent footsteps of many other companies by introducing its own temporary food truck.

Remember that Food Truck Rally at Grand Army Plaza we told you about a few months ago? The one that was supposed to be a one-off thing? Well, it was such a hit that it's happening twice a month all summer, and some local restaurant owners are none too pleased with the wheeled vendors. more ›

Finally, some good news out of the food truck court that once was the Tavern on the Green: for the first time ever a New York City food truck has been given permission to serve booze, starting today. The SLA has given the green light to for the Pera Turkish Taco Truck to serve beer, wine and cocktails during regular operating hours—but only if the potent potables are consumed in the truck’s assigned seating area on the terrace. more ›

When we heard that Snap, a new hotdog-centric food truck promising Chicago-style dogs was setting up shop here in New York, we must admit we were a bit skeptical. Both cities take their dogs very seriously—Chicagoans preferring all-beef sausages (typically Vienna) loaded into a poppyseed bun, topped with mustard, onions, tomato, a pickle spear, sweet relish, sport peppers and celery salt; and New Yorkers holding a deep and abiding love for Gray's Papaya-style dogs (usually Sabrett's) with kraut, mustard and onions. more ›

Because apparently no one in this city can get enough of food that comes out of a truck (it's magic!), the Prospect Park Alliance has put together an event that will make it even easier for you to find a meal on wheels, and they're calling it, creatively, Food Truck Rally. Taking over Grand Army Plaza next Sunday, the festival promises everything from lobster rolls (Red Hook Lobster Pound) to falafel (Taim Mobile), all in one convenient parking lot—but wait, haven't we seen this before? more ›

Seems like you can hardly walk down the street these days without being accosted by free food out of a hole in a truck. Following in the footsteps of Swamp People, Air France, and Game of Thrones, "The Most Interesting Man In The World"-touting beer brand Dos Equis has launched a new taco truck, called, intriguingly, "Feast of the Brave." What's on the menu? Oh, bugs and brains. more ›
