Today’s post is a bit different from prior ones in that there is no analysis. But I don’t need to run the numbers to know everyone likes good street food.  This post is about where to find it. 

I had the pleasure of Emceeing the 10th Annual Vendy Awards today on Governors Island.  It is an all-you-can-eat-and-drink competition between some of the best food carts/trucks in New York City, but it’s also a fundraiser for the Street Vendor Project, an advocacy group for the thousands of street vendors in our city. 

I’m going to be doing some posts on vendor data in the future, but in the meantime I figured that since not everyone could join today, I would make a map of all 25 nominees for the awards.  

I looked at the neighborhoods where the food trucks or carts for each of the Vendy finalists often frequent, and mapped one of their main locations.   Some food trucks move from one neighborhood to the next without any pre-determined schedule.  In those cases, if they had an associated brick and mortar store, I mapped that location instead.  For more details on any individual truck, go to the Vendy page which has links to each one’s information.  

I’ve color coded the locations for each of the 5 Vendy Award categories. Enjoy, and happy eating!
