Food Truck Catering for Neighborhood Events in New York:

Whether you’re wrangling logistics for a street fair in Astoria, hosting Movies in the Park along the Hudson River, or shutting down the block in Bed-Stuy for a summer stoop party, Best Food Trucks has you covered. Our New York neighborhood catering program lets you swap spreadsheets and stress for a menu that makes the whole city talk. Instead of chasing down private chefs who “got stuck on the F train,” our vetted fleet of NYC food trucks rolls up on time, serves fast, and treats your guests like family.

We handle everything—menu curation, permits, staffing, and next-level digital ordering—so you can focus on crowd-pleasing programming, not kitchen drama. From one truck on a quiet cul-de-sac to a fleet feeding an entire community board meeting, our scalable system guarantees hot, fresh, and unforgettable food truck catering for Neighborhood events in New York.

Want local flavor? Check out just a few of the trucks ready to park on your block:

  • Yankee Doodle Dandy's – All-American comfort food born right here in NYC. Their Love Me Tender Chicken Sandwich brings Times Square–sized smiles to every guest.
  • Carvel Ice Cream Truck – The original soft-serve legends. Nothing cools down an East Village block party faster than a vanilla-chocolate twist with sprinkles.
  • Jiannetto's Pizza – Grandma-style thin-crust Sicilian slices that taste like Little Italy, even if you’re hanging out in Washington Heights.
  • Smash Burger – Juicy Angus patties smashed and seared to perfection, perfect fuel for a late-night Williamsburg stoop concert.
  • MAKINA Cafe – Authentic Ethiopian-Eritrean plates bringing the rich aromas of injera and sambusas to Queens night markets and beyond.

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.
