Hot, Customizable Meals for New York Studios—Delivered On Cue!
When a film or TV crew is burning daylight on a Brooklyn backlot or racing to wrap before sunset in Long Island City, every minute matters. Best Food Trucks has spent years feeding cast and crew from Chelsea Piers to Steiner Studios, so we know how to keep productions rolling and stomachs happy. Our team will curate rotating daily menus that speak to classic New York cravings—think American comfort from Yankee Doodle Dandy's, grandma–style slices from Jiannetto's Pizza, and Ethiopian flair courtesy of MAKINA Cafe.
We handle everything behind the scenes: scouting the best curbside spot on set, streamlining online ordering and walk-up pickup, and vetting every vendor for NYC Health Department permits and $2 million liability policies. Need late-night craft-services treats? We’ll roll in the Carvel Ice Cream Truck. Craving a Midtown smash hit for lunch? Smash Burger has you covered.
Because food truck catering produces less packaging and food waste than traditional buffet service, you’ll keep both your budget and the planet in the green. From call sheet to wrap party, Best Food Trucks takes the guesswork out of studio catering in New York—so you can focus on getting the perfect shot.
Fueling Your Set While Fueling NYC’s Small Businesses
New York may be the city that never sleeps, but it certainly eats—and most of that flavor comes from the thousands of independent cooks who roll up their gates before dawn. Booking food truck catering for your studio shoot keeps that grassroots spirit alive. Every empanada flipped on a SoHo sidewalk and every chopped-cheese slider served outside a Queens soundstage is prepared by a family-owned, New York–licensed business that relies on productions like yours for its livelihood.
Instead of wiring cash to a national chain, your “lunch break” deposits money straight into the pockets of local entrepreneurs from the Bronx to Bayside. Many of our partner trucks are first-generation immigrant startups—think Dominican-style mofongo bowls, Punjabi kati rolls, or Staten Island’s own wood-fired pizza rig. When you search for “low-budget film catering NYC” or “New York studio food truck,” you’ll see how affordable it is to champion the community without sacrificing craft-services quality.
Sustainability matters on set, too. Food trucks operate compact kitchens that sip less electricity than a traditional buffet line and plate meals in compostable containers that keep your trash roll-offs light. Choose Best Food Trucks for your New York studio catering and you’ll reduce food waste, shrink your carbon footprint, and still get the legendary street-food flavor crews crave between takes.

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.

Only suggestion is not to use aluminum foil wrapping before it's cut. There were small pieces of aluminum in the burrito, which is not good to eat.

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and I’m so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazing—my guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety… I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you can’t go wrong! 😃

All of the food was delicious. We just moved from Chicago a year ago and it was a nice taste of home!
