Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in New York
When New York throws a party—whether it’s a 50,000-person concert on Randall’s Island, a film shoot in Brooklyn Navy Yard, or a corporate takeover of the Javits Center—attendees expect two things: world-class entertainment and unforgettable food. Traditional tent kitchens used to dominate the landscape, but they require extra permits, generators, and hours of setup on already crowded city streets. Modern food trucks change the game. Each truck rolls in as a fully self-contained commercial kitchen, plugs into city power (or runs on its own), and starts serving in minutes. That agility is why food truck catering has become the gold standard for large-scale events in New York City.
Best Food Trucks coordinates fleets of NYC’s top mobile kitchens so your guests can sample an entire cross-section of the city’s culinary map in one spot. Looking for gourmet? We’ve got it. Craving quick comfort food between sets at Governors Ball or during halftime at Yankee Stadium? We have that, too. From Midtown skyscraper launches to Central Park SummerStage festivals, we handle the logistics—permits, scheduling, health-department compliance—so you can focus on the show.
Check out a few of our fan-favorite New York food trucks available for large events:
- Yankee Doodle Dandy's – All-American chicken tenders and over-the-top sandwiches that keep lines moving and guests smiling in Times Square, Bryant Park, and beyond.
- Smash Burger – Juicy Angus patties seared to perfection, ideal for feeding hungry crowds at Citi Field tailgates or Hudson Yards block parties.
- Jiannetto's Pizza – Award-winning grandma-style Sicilian slices, a must for any Manhattan street fair or Brooklyn film wrap party.
- MAKINA Cafe – Authentic Ethiopian-Eritrean favorites like injera and sambusas, offering a flavorful global twist in Prospect Park or Flushing Meadows.
- Carvel Ice Cream Truck – Classic soft-serve cones and sundaes that cool down summer festivals on the Coney Island boardwalk.
No matter the borough or the headcount, Best Food Trucks delivers seamless, high-volume service that only New York’s finest food trucks can provide. Reach out today and discover why we’re the first call for food truck catering for large-scale events in New York.
Skip the Line and Enjoy Your New York Event
New Yorkers don’t wait for cabs, coffee, or crosstown buses—and they shouldn’t have to wait for lunch at your festival either. Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering platform lets guests browse menus from multiple trucks, pay on their phones, and get a text the second their order is ready. Whether they’re racing between panels at the Javits Center or grabbing a bite before the headliner hits the stage at Forest Hills Stadium, attendees stay locked in on the experience instead of standing in a 40-minute queue.
Hosting a massive turnout at Governors Island or a charity 5K in Prospect Park? Send a custom pre-order link with each ticket so visitors can choose a pickup window before they even board the subway. Our system is built for New York numbers—thousands of simultaneous orders, real-time inventory updates, and seamless coordination across a fleet of trucks.
Food truck catering for large-scale events in New York plus Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering is the ultimate power combo: faster lines, happier crowds, and higher sales per hour. Let us handle the rush while your guests enjoy the city’s best street eats without missing a single moment of your event.

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.
