Last night was the Choice Streets food truck fest at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
At Turnstile Tours, that's what we call corporate synergy.
The always popular event included more than 20 food trucks from around the city, including several of our favorites that we feature on our Food Cart Tours of Midtown and the Financial District. As you can see from our tasting card above, we didn't make it to all of them, as that would have likely resulted in some pretty severe gastrointestinal distress, though our team did divide and conquer, so between us we hit almost all of them.
We did of course check in with our regular tour stops, Souvlaki GR, Korilla BBQ, and The Treats Truck, as well as trucks we take groups to periodically, like Coohaus, Nuchas, and Moo Shu Grill – this last one is a relative newcomer, and their take on the standard Chinese restaurant pancake dish was one of the highlights of the night. And we couldn't miss 2011 Vendy Cup winner Solber Pupusas, as well as past Vendy nominees like Uncle Gussy's, Toum, Mamak, Kelvin Slush, and Comme Ci, Comme Ça.
Thanks to Brian, our Food Cart Tour leader, and our friend Iverson, the interloper you see holding the pita pocket at lower right, for coming out and tasting all this food in the shadow of the Intrepid.
