A Queens truck’s $7 jerk chicken sold 500 plates—X raved ‘best bite.’ Live reggae at 3 p.m.—400 danced; 72°F sun warmed. NYC’s street eats—global flavors pop.
Vendor Aisha Khan, 42, dished 600 falafel wraps—her tahini sauce a hit. Kids got free snow cones; a Bronx nonprofit sponsored 200. A ‘Best Dish’ contest crowned a $1,000 empanada champ—Harlem’s joy. New compost bins cut 3 tons waste—40% greener. Hudson Yards’ vibe—NYC’s food heart.
It’s not perfect—traffic chaos; 10th Avenue clogged. Some prices—$12 plates—sparked gripes. Still, 70 trucks, 15K bites—fest’s a hit. Post-event, The Vessel glowed—foodies lingered. Annual bash—NYC chows down.
Khan’s 42—culinary star? Empanada champ—Harlem pride. NYC munched; Hudson rocked. Food trucks—roll on.
