Yankee Doodle Dandy's serves legendary chicken tender sandwiches that keep Yankee Stadium fans coming back for seconds. Craving grandma-style Sicilian slices? Jiannetto's Pizza turns out award-winning thin-crust squares perfect for Governors Ball or the Pride March. Looking to smash the lunchtime rush? Smash Burger sears premium Angus patties that disappear faster than a 6-train express.

Hot summer festival? Cool the crowd down with classic soft-serve from the Carvel Ice Cream Truck. Want a global twist for your corporate outing at Hudson Yards? MAKINA Cafe dishes up vibrant Ethiopian-Eritrean plates that turn first-time tasters into instant fans.

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.

Once home, we discovered that we weren't given the broth that was to accompany the Birrias or the sauce and limes that were to accompany the tacos. Disappointing...
