    There must be hundreds, if not thousands, of street vendors selling a huge variety of "grazing food". By far the most popular are the hot dog guys where a standard hot dog will be about $2 with or without onions, help yourself to relishes. Nothing wrong with these whatsoever if you just require a quick bite on the hoof - look for the ones that are busy!

  • Since I was a little kid one of my favorite things about New York has been the street food. When I visit I don't even eat in very many restaurants because I love it so much. There's nothing like the smell of roasting, candied nuts or grilling kebabs. New York hot dogs are also excellent. Pretzels are also quite good, or they can be. Just make sure that you don't get one that was too close to the charcoal fire because sometimes they taste like lighter fluid. In the winter you can get roasted chestnuts. My personal favorites are the carts that sell Middle Eastern food. Mmmm. So if you're in New York and you're hungry try out one of the carts when you walk by!

    Who hasn't seen a movie set in New York City in which people order food from street vendors? They have stands at every corners and thanks to them, I'll always be amazed at how good I thought NYC smelled! Of course, you can get your oh-so-typical hot dog, but street vendors also sell pretzels, honey roasted nuts, kebabs, and so on. It makes for a quick, unexpensive snack, and we were glad to find out they actually tasted pretty good!

    As everyone knows New Yorkers are always on the go and working hard that many don't even have time to stop for lunch! Luckily on almost every corner there is a NYC Hot Dog & Pretzel Vendor! This is a local custom for New Yorkers, I myself have many times bought lunch while I was on-the-go!

    A touch of exotism : to eat a French pancakes made as you was in Paris. It is possible to eat "crepes" in Paris but really they are the speciality of Britany. This picture was taken in the 7th Avenue at the level of 57th St, the Memorial Day 2003.

    Almost everywhere in NY street corners are populated with street vendors: at a relatively cheap price they are not only hot-dogs and pretzels sellers, but now they provide you with any sort of soft drink, fresh fruit, fruit salads and warm meals. Around wall street we had a fresh cooked chicken sanwich just for 4$ and we ate it sitting on the pier, noticing that this is what the office employees normally do in a nice sunny day.

    New Yorkers eat a lot on the street..on the go. Hot dogs are the favourite, but my personal favourite was the Klauh Kalesh ( i think it was that name), it was really good.
