Hot, Customizable Meals for New York Studios—Ready When the Director Yells “Lunch!”
Whether you’re filming on a soundstage at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, shooting exteriors around Times Square, or working late at Silvercup in Long Island City, Best Food Trucks brings the most reliable food truck catering for studios in New York. Our team has spent years feeding film crews, art departments, and Broadway casts, so we know how to keep the city that never sleeps well-fed and on schedule.
We’ll partner with your production office to build rotating daily menus that suit everyone from vegan grips to carnivore camera ops. Need us parked on 36th Street at dawn or tucked behind Kaufman Astoria Studios for a night shoot? No problem. We map the best service locations, streamline online ordering and walk-up pickup, vet every vendor for NYC Health Department permits and insurance, and deliver cost analyses that keep you under budget—no overtime meals required.
Food truck catering isn’t just convenient—it’s sustainable. By cooking to order, our trucks cut down on the half-eaten buffet trays and single-use plastics that plague traditional craft services. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime logistics for your New York studio so you can focus on hitting your call sheets, not catering headaches.
Crew-Approved NYC Food Trucks We Love
- Yankee Doodle Dandy's – All-American comfort food starring crispy chicken tenders and the Love Me Tender Sandwich.
- Jiannetto's Pizza – Award-winning grandma-style Sicilian slices, perfect for quick bites between takes.
- Smash Burger – Premium Angus burgers smashed to perfection, a Midtown favorite when the crew craves classic NYC street fare.
- MAKINA Cafe – Authentic Ethiopian-Eritrean plates featuring injera and sambusas, great for adventurous palates on set.
- Carvel Ice Cream Truck – Iconic soft-serve cones and sundaes that turn any wrap party into a celebration.
From early-morning call times to midnight wraps, our curated lineup of New York food trucks keeps your cast and crew fueled with fresh, local flavors. Book your studio food truck catering with Best Food Trucks today and taste why productions across the five boroughs trust us for every meal break.
Supporting New York’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Ordering food truck catering for your New York studio shoot doesn’t just feed the crew—it keeps the city’s legendary hustle alive. Every truck we dispatch is a family-run or solo-owner operation, from a Queens-based mom-and-pop taco rig to a Brooklyn vegan bowl cart built out of a retired USPS truck. Your lunch budget circulates right back into the five boroughs, paying for kids’ dance lessons in Flatbush and rent on a Bronx commissary kitchen instead of padding a corporate cafeteria’s bottom line.
Food trucks also check the eco-friendly box that modern productions demand. Because meals are cooked to order, our vendors fire up their grills only when your AD calls “meal break,” slashing energy use and eliminating the landfill-bound half-pans that plague traditional craft services. Crews grab compostable forks, refill bottles at on-board water stations, and walk away—no trash-bag mountains outside the stage door.
So the next time you Google “low-budget film catering in NYC” at 2 a.m. from the G&E truck, remember that Best Food Trucks delivers studio food truck catering that’s affordable, sustainable, and proudly New York. Book a truck, feed the crew, and keep Gotham’s small-business heartbeat pumping between “action” and “cut.”

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.

We were very happy with the Smash Burger truck. They showed up on time, were very professional, and the food was delicious. I would hire them again. Thank you!

Fresher ingredients. The tomatoes was kinda not fresh - like the skin was separating from the flesh. Maybe more veggies, as well. Overall it was good.

Mr. Gourmet Sausage was AWESOME! They arrived with plenty of time to set-up, kept me up to date on the number of guests served, and were super courteous to our guests. Best Food Trucks made the booking very easy and were so pleasant to work with.
