Hot, Customizable Meals for Your New York Studio—Ready When You Call “Lunch!”
From sunrise shoots at Steiner Studios in the Brooklyn Navy Yard to late-night takes at Silvercup and Kaufman Astoria, Best Food Trucks is the first name locals trust for studio food truck catering in New York. We understand the pace of NYC production, so your crew never has to wait longer than a downtown 6 train for a hot meal.
Our on-the-ground experts will work hand-in-hand with your production team to craft rotating daily menus, select convenient curbside serving spots, streamline mobile ordering and pickup, and vet every vendor for New York City permits and insurance. We also provide a detailed cost analysis that keeps you on budget—whether you’re filming an indie in Greenpoint or a blockbuster on Broadway.
Because New Yorkers demand variety, we bring the city’s best food trucks right to your set:
- Yankee Doodle Dandy's – all-American chicken tenders and sandwiches that hit the spot faster than a Knicks fast break.
- Smash Burger – premium Angus patties seared to perfection, perfect for keeping energy high between takes.
- Jiannetto's Pizza – award-winning grandma-style Sicilian squares, NYC pizza the way Nonna intended.
- MAKINA Cafe – authentic Ethiopian-Eritrean flavors that give cast and crew a delicious passport to Addis Ababa without leaving Queens.
- Carvel Ice Cream Truck – classic vanilla, chocolate, or twist soft-serve for a sweet wrap party on wheels.
Food truck catering also keeps Gotham green, generating far less food and packaging waste than traditional craft services. Let Best Food Trucks handle every bite of your New York studio catering so you can focus on rolling camera—because in the city that never sleeps, lunch should never slow you down.
Supporting New York’s Small Businesses, One Food Truck at a Time
Booking a food truck for your set isn’t just the fastest way to feed a hundred hungry crew members—it’s a direct investment in New York City’s small-business community. Every truck that rolls up to your studio gate is usually owned by a lifelong New Yorker, a family outfit from one of the five boroughs, or a first-generation entrepreneur chasing the American dream on four wheels. When you choose food truck catering for your NYC studio, you keep payroll, purchasing, and taxes right here—from Greenpoint coffee roasters to Hunts Point produce wholesalers—strengthening the local economy that keeps this city shooting 24/7.
Food trucks are also a greener alternative to traditional craft services. Because they cook to order and operate on compact, energy-efficient equipment, they burn fewer BTUs than a banquet hall kitchen and send far less packaging to Staten Island’s landfill. Many of our partner trucks compost, recycle cooking oil into biodiesel, and hand out utensils made of bamboo instead of plastic. Eco-friendly, budget-friendly, and traffic-friendly—what’s more New York than that?
So next time your production coordinator Googles “low-budget film catering near me,” skip the pricey buffet chafers and call Best Food Trucks. We’ll deliver big-city flavor, small-business heart, and a lighter environmental footprint—right to 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.

excellent food!!! I did like being able to order online and then just go pick it up. The food had a great presentation to it. I didn't want corn so they left it out. I posted pictures of it on Facebook and everybody said it looks really good. It was super delicious!!

Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.
