Back
A lot of folks predicted that food trucks were just a fad, that simply hasn't been the case—these meals on wheels are here to stay. Every food-truck aficionado will argue their city has the best selection, but the competition is too stiff to decide. Still, New York City is one that has cornered the food truck market. You'll find some of the most delicious quick bites around at these rolling eateries. When you're on your New York City locum tenens assignment, be sure to find these food trucks and chow down:
Snow Day Food Truck
Snow Day is reminiscent of Buddy the Elf thanks to its maple syrup-themed food selection, which is made of ingredients sourced locally. It serves up delectable menu items like a maple cheddar grilled sandwich and bacon and pesto brie pancake poppers, but this New York City food truck's cause is as just as enticing as its maple treats. Powered by non-profit organization Drive Change, the truck hires and trains once-incarcerated young adults.
The Eddie's Pizza Truck
The New York City food scene isn't complete without its famous paper-thin pizza, and this food truck doesn't disappoint. Known for their "bar pies," pizza that's just the right size to polish off with a few brews, Eddie's has its devotees vote on the daily pizza special.
Yvonne's Jamaican
There aren't many U.S. cities boasting Caribbean food trucks, but New York City has got an impressive one stationed on the Upper East Side. Prepare yourself for fare like oxtails, fried whiting and ginger beer to wash it all down.
Asia Dog
These guys set out on a mission to celebrate New York City's diversity, and celebrate that diversity they did. An Asia Dog is a hot dog topped with Asian ingredients like seaweed flakes, pork belly, pickled daikon and kimchi, combining several of the city's favorite street foods into one delectable hybrid.
New York City has countless other food trucks, all of which merit at least one lunch-break visit. Luckily, NYC is a place where you'll find a food truck on every corner in any cuisine you can think of. And if you get confused? There's an app for that.
