Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in New York

From concerts on Randall’s Island to corporate outings at Hudson Yards, the best large-scale events in New York thrive on two things: unforgettable entertainment and iconic New York eats. In the past, organizers had to wrangle tent vendors, extra permits, and miles of extension cords just to feed the crowd. Today, self-contained food trucks roll up with fully equipped kitchens, slashing setup time while adding that unmistakable NYC street-food vibe.

Best Food Trucks makes large event catering in New York simple. We curate a fleet that matches your guest list—whether you’re planning Governors Ball-sized crowds or a massive Midtown product launch. Craving American comfort food? Yankee Doodle Dandy’s will serve its famous Love Me Tender chicken sandwiches faster than you can hail a yellow cab. Need something sweet for a summer movie night in Bryant Park? The iconic Carvel Ice Cream Truck brings soft-serve nostalgia straight to your guests.

No New York gathering is complete without pizza—enter Jiannetto’s Pizza with award-winning grandma slices that taste like Sunday dinner in Queens. For burger lovers, Smash Burger turns Angus patties into Broadway-worthy headliners, while MAKINA Cafe introduces crowds to vibrant Ethiopian-Eritrean flavors right on the streets of Manhattan.

Whether you’re hosting 500 people in Prospect Park or 5,000 runners at the NYC Marathon finish line, Best Food Trucks coordinates multiple vendors, handles all permits, and ensures every attendee gets exactly what they’re craving. That’s why event planners searching for “food truck catering for large scale events in New York” choose us again and again—because we deliver the city’s best, one truck at a time.

Skip the Line, New York—Enjoy the Event

New Yorkers don’t do standing still, and your crowd shouldn’t have to either. With Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering system, guests can place an order while hopping off the A train at 125th, strolling past the Bethesda Fountain, or queuing for wristbands at Forest Hills Stadium. A few taps, a secure checkout, and a text buzzes their phone the moment their pastrami melt or vegan dumplings are ready—no Fulton Street-length lines required.

The platform is engineered for the city that never sleeps, effortlessly powering hundreds of transactions per minute. Hosting 800 sneakerheads at a SoHo launch or 80,000 music fans on Governors Island? Our system scales without a hiccup. Need to beat the rush? Drop a custom pre-order link into your Eventbrite confirmation so guests can schedule pickup before doors even open. When you combine food truck catering for large scale events in New York with friction-free online ordering, lines disappear, sales soar, and everyone keeps their focus on the main attraction—your event.

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.

We were very happy with the Smash Burger truck. They showed up on time, were very professional, and the food was delicious. I would hire them again. Thank you!

Tasty sandwich and soup. I pre ordered and received an email they would try to accommodate my scheduled pickup and was expecting a text when the order was ready but didn’t receive one. Upon going to the truck my order was handed to me immediately however.

Great flavor in the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and the fries were perfect. I would've appreciated a side dipping sauce of the Buffalo sauce.
