New York's food trucks are a common sight. It's impossible to walk further than two blocks without seeing someone selling food in little white containers. In 1691, Dutch settlers introduced pushcart food. Although the food was not as delicious back then, it was a convenient way to get a quick bite during lunch breaks. pizzavans.co.uk

Although the food has evolved, the concept of the restaurant remains the same. New Yorkers are busy and don't have the time to sit down at a restaurant for lunch. New York's food trucks cater to lunch-goers. You don't have to settle for hotdogs or chicken with rice. Gourmet meals are available, including waffles, dumplings and tacos. It is all top-quality food, hence the long lines. There are many great food trucks, but here are some that you should not miss.
