Street Vendors in New York, NY

“Not a big fan of the fish balls but will definitely be back for the rice noodles. Get them with mixed sauce: peanut, soy, hot, and oyster sauce. The owner is a vibe. There is a small area for dine in, with 4 chairs, but food comes in a plastic container that's easy to eat from elsewhere. They do take card but with a fee.“

“Hi grand street skewer cart ! I’m a huge fan of your food. I’m a web designer and I actually put together a draft website concept for your shop to show how you can showcase your menu and take catering orders more easily.

I’d love to send you a quick video tour of what I built, or we can jump on a brief meeting if you’re interested! If you like the design, you can officially purchase it for your business. No pressure at all—just wanted to show you what’s possible!“

“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 girlfriend and I went here on Saturday it was a great experience and we both had a lot of fun. We arrived a little early before our scheduled start. The atmosphere was awesome! We sat at the bar for about a half hour and we each got a drink while we waited for our game to start. My girlfriend had Lime in the Coconut Collins and I had Paradise Love. Both drinks were good. They have a very easy to use coat check too. There are a total of 9 courses and each one is unique making for an exciting game of indoor mini golf! There are also servers who walk around and take your drink order and plentiful of convenient stations to set your drinks on while you play and wait for the party ahead of you.“

“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.“

“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 ���“

“Always been a fan of halal food carts since they are affordable and filling at the same time. This cart in particular offers a buy 10 get 1 free card/promotion their food is also consistent and well prepared in front of you as well, highly recommended this spot for the best bang for your buck“

“lamb chicken combo plate was magnificent !“

“The flavors here keep calling me back whenever I'm nearby. Their menu combines quality and service with sensible pricing. The staff performed exactly as expected at this quality restaurant. They serve just enough for the right cost. Tasty food options, considerate staff, and a nice setting make this restaurant 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!“

“I can't tell you how many times I have tried to find Zongzi Lady. I always came too early. On this day I finally found her - at 4:15 pm. She's such an amiable lady. We had conversation as if we were old friends. She was surprisingly receptive to having her pictures taken also, in addition to my selfies. I could tell she's a contented person. She limits how many zongzi she sells and how many hours she works, like this was just a hobby.

Since we were travelling and can't stock up, we only bought 2, the Taiwanese kind for about $3 each. They had fatty pork, shitake mushrooms and peanuts (and dry shrimps I think) in them. The sticky rice had definition, wasn't soggy and the taste was on point. The only ingredients I would have loved was raw garlic and a few drips of Sriracha sauce because that was how I would eat one if my Mom made it at home. But that's out of scope.

I would advise that you try to find her early, especially on a hot summer day if food safety is your concern. Anyways, I am very glad to have finally got this one checked off from my NYC bucket list!“

“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.“

“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“

“DELICIOUS. The Chacá (maíz craquiao/sweet corn) is really good. I’m from PA and don’t come to NY at all, but anytime I have to cross the GW Bridge for whatever reason, I have to stop by the corner of W. 182nd / St Nicholas in the Bronx ( I think that’s the Bronx). I haven’t tried the habichuelas con dulce, but sometimes they have rice pudding (Arroz con leche) and it is also good. The habichuelas must be really good also because everyone on the line in front of me ordered the habichuelas con dulce. I left from my house in PA at around 9AM when I checked to see what time they open, Google has their hours from noon to 8pm. I arrived to NY at around 10:45AM hoping they were going to be there already, and they were. They were just getting set up and there were also other people waiting to get this delicious sweet treat. I guess they open at 11AM. One thing I didn’t see was their price list. I heard someone getting charged $9 for the big cup and I got charged $10. I’m not sure if that person got the habichuelas or the sweet corn and/or if the habichuelas and the sweet corn have the same price. They should list the prices so some people that are not from the area or don’t go there often think they are getting overcharged. If you pass by the area, stop by and get yourself some Cachá or habichuelas con dulce. By the way, the people selling are very nice and have been on that corner for many years.“
