Lights, Camera, Lunch Break—Hot, Customizable Meals for Your New York Studio
From sunrise shoots at Silvercup Studios in Queens to late-night wrap parties at Steiner in Brooklyn, Best Food Trucks has spent years perfecting food truck catering for studios in New York. We know that a hungry crew can stall production faster than a stalled subway train, so our New York studio catering program keeps cast and crew fueled—without ever missing a beat.
Our team partners with you to create rotating daily menus that play like a Broadway marquee of local favorites. Craving crispy chicken tenders and all-American sandwiches? Tap Yankee Doodle Dandy's. Need a grandma-style Sicilian slice between takes? Jiannetto's Pizza will roll up with piping-hot squares. Looking for burger bliss on location in the Bronx or Staten Island? Smash Burger has you covered. For a global twist that keeps talent talking, we’ll bring in MAKINA Cafe and its Ethiopian-Eritrean injera platters, then cool everyone down with classic soft-serve from the iconic Carvel Ice Cream Truck.
Beyond the food, we handle every New York detail: securing street permits from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, coordinating curbside setups that won’t block a box truck on 28th Street, vetting vendors for insurance, and streamlining online ordering so your AD can track every meal like a call sheet. You’ll receive a clear cost summary and analysis that fits your production budget—no surprise overages.
Food truck catering also keeps NYC greener by slashing food and packaging waste, letting your studio hit sustainability goals while treating the crew. Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your New York studio production. It’s one less thing for you to worry about, so you can keep the focus where it belongs—on the shot.
Feeding Your Set While Fueling New York’s Small Businesses
Booking a food truck for studio catering in New York doesn’t just satisfy a hungry crew—it keeps the city’s legendary hustle alive. Every truck that rolls up to Silvercup, Kaufman Astoria, or a SoHo loft shoot is usually a one-truck operation run by an immigrant family, a second-career chef, or a born-and-bred New Yorker chasing a culinary dream. Your lunch order of Cubanos, halal bowls, or artisanal grilled cheese puts real dollars back into neighborhoods from Jackson Heights to Bay Ridge.
Food trucks are also a smart pick for eco-friendly film catering. Because they cook to order inside energy-efficient mobile kitchens and serve in compostable packaging, trucks slash the food waste and diesel-generator burn that come with traditional craft-service buffets. Many of our New York vendors compost through GrowNYC and refill at local commissaries, shrinking the carbon footprint of your production.
So the next time the UPM types “low-budget film catering near me” into their phone at 3 a.m., remember: Best Food Trucks can line up licensed, insured, and union-friendly mobile kitchens that taste great and do good. Support NYC’s small business scene, meet your green-initiative targets, and keep the crew raving about lunch instead of grumbling about it. Hit us up—we’ll park the perfect truck right outside your studio door.

Food and service was excellent. Arrival of food truck was late. Driver wanted to come half hour earlier (11:30a) to event to prep but ended up showing an hour later (12:30p). Wasn’t able to feed some of my important guests. They missed out on some good food to catch a flight. For the amount of $$ paid, was hoping have event catered on time.

Luis of Senor Wooffle was terrific to work with. He was able to make some menu modifications that we needed. This is the first time we have used a Food Truck and were so pleased. BTW - his root beer floats were fabulous!

The crust is thin and crisp just like I like it; the sauce and toppings (veggie) had a good taste and just the right amount.
