NYC Bites- Food Trucks

In my first NYC bites post I let you in on some fantastic treats in the Lower East Village, today I will share some of the food trucks I recently had some tastings at.  Let me start by saying we have the perfect September Saturday to enjoy these bites.  Again I discovered these places by taking a tour with a company called the Sidewalks of New York (http://www.sidewalksofny.com/). For this tour we started in midtown tasting from two carts then a short subway ride away we found ourselves at Union Square, which on a Saturday there is a wonderful farmers market.  

 

The first stop was for some chicken Roti from the Biryani cart.

 

The chicken was definitely moist and had wonderful flavor.

Next up was a stop at Kwik Meal the next block over, again a wonderful chicken plate with rice.  Interesting to note that this cart soaks the chicken in papaya to keep it moist, but you don't taste the papaya.  Yum!

 



 

 

 

Next it was onto Union Square, where our first

tasting was at Patty's Taco truck.

At Patty's taco I enjoyed the pork taco.  As with any taco
it is all about the freshness of the ingredients.  The tacos were topped simply with some onion, cilantro, tomato, lettuce, and some lime.  Perfect!

Next on the tour was a stop just a couple trucks up at the Gorilla Cheese truck. Here I only sampled some of the cheddar on a whole grain bread but I can say that their menu has many options that looked oh so delicious.  All the sandwiches had that nice gooey, melty, goodness wants from a grilled cheese sandwich.

Coolhaus Ice Cream Sandwich Truck

The Coolhaus Ice Cream truck was certainly a very unique
truck.  When walking up to this truck you get to select a
cookie type and then you select the ice cream flavor you
would like to create your ice cream sandwich.

I decided to try the snickerdoodle cookie with the sea salt caramel ice cream, and I am so glad that I did.  The cookie was soft and chewy.  The ice cream was absolutely scrumptious! 


The best part of the day lokoing at the menus for the most of the choices for around $6-$8 you are getting a meal that is freshly prepared, unique, and just down right delicious!  And on this day the perfect end was to walk around the famer's market and the park at Union Square to enjoy the atmosphere and digest all the yummines we got to enjoy!
