Hot, Customizable Meals for Every New York Studio Set
Whether you’re shooting a series at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, blocking scenes at Silvercup in Queens, or rolling cameras on a Manhattan rooftop, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable food truck catering for studio productions in New York. Our team has spent years feeding cast and crew from Tribeca to Long Island City, so we know how to keep hungry New Yorkers happy—and on schedule.
We work hand-in-hand with your production office to create rotating daily menus, map the best curb space for service, and streamline online ordering and pickup. From permitting with the Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment to insurance compliance, we vet every vendor so you don’t have to. You’ll receive a clear cost breakdown that stays on budget, plus the eco-friendly bonus of reducing food and packaging waste compared with traditional craft-service buffets.
Want classic American comfort on an Uptown night shoot? Book Yankee Doodle Dandy's for their legendary Love Me Tender Chicken Sandwich. Need sweet wrap-party vibes in Central Park? Nothing beats the jingle of Mister Softee pulling up with soft-serve cones. Craving a late-night slice in the Bronx? Jiannetto's Pizza serves award-winning grandma-style Sicilian squares. For burger purists at Kaufman Astoria, Smash Burger sears Angus patties to order, and if your crew is after bold global flavors, MAKINA Cafe brings authentic Ethiopian-Eritrean plates right to set.
Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime on your New York studio production—so you can shout “Action!” instead of “What’s for lunch?”
Fueling Your Shoot & NYC’s Small Businesses
Every time you book a food truck for studio catering in New York, you’re putting money straight into the neighborhoods that make this city legendary. Most of our trucks are run by Brooklyn bakers who perfected their recipes in church basements, Queens families who turned their weekend pop-up into a full-time hustle, or Bronx veterans rolling a one-rig operation. That means your craft-services dollars help pay rent on Flatbush apartments, tuition at LaGuardia Community College, and yes—even Mets tickets.
Choosing food truck catering for your set isn’t just good karma; it’s good for the planet. A single truck uses a fraction of the gas, electricity, and packaging that a traditional buffet line burns through, and our vendors source compostable serve-ware approved by NYC’s Department of Sanitation. Less waste, less idle time, fewer garbage bags on the curb outside Kaufman Astoria.
So the next time your production coordinator types “low-budget film catering NYC” into the search bar, skip the stale sandwich platters and call Best Food Trucks instead. You’ll keep cast and crew happy, support true New York small businesses, and roll camera knowing lunch was shot on the greenest take.

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.
