Street Vendors near Union City, NJ

“Best meatball sliders ever. Also had a lovely conversation with the very nice lady at the stand in smorgasburg yesterday. We will be back �“

“This is an absolute local experience. It has 3 bar seats and a loud friendly funny guy taking orders. I came here for the congee which was basic but so flavorful and homey. I got the noodles which they are known for and they were outstanding! Chewy, umami and not the prettiest dish. I’ll sacrifice looks for flavor any day! I works say you must be a Sami brave eager to try it but it’s a place I’ll definitely crave in the future!“

“These five skewers: arguably the best thing I've eaten in this city for under $15. The highlight are the mushroom / scallops wrapped in bacon, grilled over coals... For $2.50?! Pinch me, I'm dreaming

It's a grungy corner after dark, but right above the Grant St subway station.“

“I went to a lot of restaurants in New York that were much fancier than this cart but this was my favorite food of the day. The cheong fun was gooey and had qq and a decent amount of meat. For $5 for the large, it was such a deal and fed three of us as a snack. I would go back in a heartbeat and order more. Wish we had this in Chinatown in Houston.“

“My daughter and I had a wonderful time at Swingers US. This place exudes luxury and is very fancy. The food and drinks were awesome. The white rose garden trellis is everything.“

“He’s my man ! Best hot dog in area ! Been going there so many years ! Highly recommend !“

“The empanadas and the sauces are amazing!!!!“

“I was walking by the stand when the amazing smell of the food made stop immediately. I went in and had the pork skewer dipped lemon sauce and it was AMAZING!!! Good amount of meat for the price and great service as well. Next time I come, I’ll take 5 of them and bring them home for dinner.“

“I am a chicken girl and can completely without reservation recommend any and all chicken dishes and sandwiches on the menu. I have had them all over and over. Also the French fries and green salad. They are my go to usually twice a week.Believe the listed menu needs to be updated price wise but still the best deals in town. A HuGE plus you have the Richard Tucker (google him) Park right across the street for seating. Linda“

“I’ve been on a hot dog kick lately and recently found out about Boulevard Drinks, so my husband and I decided to drop in on a Saturday at around 11:30. The place is a hole in the wall. But it’s always the dingy looking places that have the best food. I’m not sure there were even any seats. We just stood next to the counter and ate, which you need to anyway because they’re meant to be eaten fresh. We ordered a cheese dog with sweet onions, and a spicy sausage with sweet onions. Each topping is 50 cents, so it can add up and you may end up paying $5 for a hot dog. But worth it for a once in a while treat. The hot dog was good but I liked the sausage a lot more. Both have a similar taste but the sausage is bigger and snappier. We ended up ordering another spicy sausage afterwards, but this time with chili. This one was pretty heavy so I’m glad we shared. Unpopular opinion, but I think a chili cheese dog would have been too much. Glad we got to check this place out!“

“Great food! Big portions, finger-lickin good“

“The auntie at this cart pays attention to the details and does not skimp on the sauce, she used a scissor to make small openings in the noodle for the sauce to seep through to the bottom, giving a nice coating of sauce to every part of the noodles instead of letting most of the sauce pile up on top. Prices are reasonable as well!“

“Been to so many smoothie places asking for #21 the health shake but nobody can do it like he does it, he’s very nice and understanding as well as quick with making your drink. I’ve experienced others who don’t pay attention to my instructions for the order or who take a while but he never fails to deliver the best smoothies quick. Definitely a must visit for great smoothies, wouldn’t recommend any other spot.“

“Let’s put it this way, I get this at 9AM & not only is it super fresh its dam Good ���“

“Had to find a new place to eat halal after a bad experience at the 2nd Ave halal guys. The food here was way better and cheaper. You can't go wrong with Farook's. Also he provides a a loyalty card that gets you a free meal after 10 purchases. If you like spicy I recommend the green sauce and red sauce.“

“I got to try some unique global flavors at this fair: NOLA crawfish sandwich from Parish Po'Boys and a Raclette melt baguette sandwich from Raclette Street. Both costed about $20 so keep that in mind if you are used to the lower prices at Queen’s Night Market.“

“They showed patience with my complicated order. These workers understand speed and accuracy matter. Afghan Boys is simply wonderful. The dishes and customer care were equally outstanding. The ownership's character defines the experience.“

“This kind lady is iconic and a Chinatown staple in my eyes! Growing up here, I always look out (or hear her) for her advertising to get the best zong in the neighborhood. She sells different kinds but I like her Taiwanese and Shanghai ones the most (there’s also an English menu that details what’s inside) She’s super sweet and stays out late til about 7-8 in front of grand street station just to sell her zong so make sure to support her business!“

“A gentleman was outside the truck assisting with ordering and payment. We ordered quesadillas (middle picture) & a tlacoyo (1st picture). He let us know they have different cook times and asked if we wanted everything served together or as it was ready. Food was great! Not too heavy or greasy. The quesadillas are handmade tortillas that are thin, light but pliable and filled with a small amount of cheese and your choice of filling. They are topped with crispy, refreshing lettuce and crema with both green or red salsa on the side. The tlacoyo was a thicker tortilla with melted cheese and filling inside and again topped with refreshing lettuce and crema and salsa on the side. We sat on the side where stools are provided. Great food and friendly service.“

“Every time we come to NYC, Kwik Meal is a must. The food is always warm and taste so good. We typically eat here every night. It’s a great price for the amount of food that you receive.“

“Si estas en NY tienes que ir Comer ponerle todas las salsas y tomarte una foto cool 😎“

“Love that the protein has veggies rather than the protein just by itself. Def more flavorful and not as dry as you'll find it on other halal carts (where you may heavily rely on the white sauce to deal with the dryness). Nice guy too, and if you want more or less veg just let him know.“

“This place had some of the best jerk chicken I ever had in my life. I've gone back 3x times in the past month and they are not there anymore. Does anyone have an updated location for this jerk pit?Because now I'm sad...sad spelled backwards is das and das not good :/“

“Waffles were delicious definitely recommend nyc 🍦“

“LOVE this stand! The best in NY! Support the vets who fought for our country! The food is fresh and perfect! 👌🏻“

“I have had hundreds of breakfast sandwiches all throughout the city and the Breakfast Burrito from Uri’s is without a doubt the best. Perfect flavor and texture combination, manages to hold up if you aren’t eating it for a bit (doesn’t get watery). Plus the people who work there are super friendly. An absolute staple of the UES“

“Mmmmmmm taste sooo good I been on my diet lately and every cheat day that I have 3 times a week this is my go to place I love this cart so much the hot sauce is soo good he better bottle that up best believe ima buy that the guy in the front is so kind he is my king halal ? he always give me extra forks and napkins I use them for when my man comes over and we be eatin his food together like a little date night situation“

“Love it! I had Lengua, El Pastor, spicy pork, they all tasted great and authentic street tacos! I didn’t care about the service, the lady was kinda delayed serving we even without people waiting. Anyway I was there for the taste and that ain’t changing my desire eating there.“

“My GUY. I would take a bullet for this man. The biryani is top notch, prepared quickly but with love and tenderness. He warned me the red sauce was spicy and he was not wrong, heed his warning.

Vegetarian options: He doesn't always have veggie biryani available but I'm a big fan of the falafel biryani.“

“I got a corn drink-no se como se llama-that was really good and a majorette that was to die for. I was told this is the best spot for habichuelas con dulce. That being said, I guess it is not for me, then. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this place ?“

“I can't wait it's going to be so much fun especially that I'm taking my mom my wife and daughter it's their first time and they're going to enjoy it we're going to eat so much delicious food and have so much fun“
