Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in New York City

Planning a festival on Governors Island, a corporate gathering at Hudson Yards, or a post-game celebration outside Madison Square Garden? New Yorkers expect big flavors and fast lines, and nothing meets that challenge better than a fleet of food trucks. Modern trucks arrive with self-contained commercial kitchens, cutting out the extra permits, generators, and hours of set-up that old-school tent vendors needed. That means you get delicious food on the streets of Manhattan, the boardwalk of Coney Island, or the fields of Flushing Meadows—without the logistical headaches.

Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple trucks for crowds of 500, 5,000, or even 50,000. We curate menus so every guest finds something they love—from American comfort food and NY-style pizza to vegan Ethiopian plates and classic soft-serve. Our local partners include:

  • Yankee Doodle Dandy’s for all-American chicken tenders and the famous Love Me Tender sandwich.
  • Smash Burger serving juicy Angus patties seared New-York-deli style.
  • Jiannetto's Pizza dishing out award-winning grandma-style Sicilian squares—perfect for a Midtown lunch rush or a Brooklyn block party.
  • MAKINA Cafe bringing bold Ethiopian-Eritrean flavors like injera and sambusas to the Five Boroughs.
  • Carvel Ice Cream Truck spinning the classic vanilla-chocolate twist that has cooled off New Yorkers since 1929.

Whether you’re feeding runners at the NYC Marathon finish line, concert-goers at Central Park SummerStage, or employees at a Wall Street summer picnic, Best Food Trucks delivers seamless, crowd-pleasing food truck catering for large-scale events in New York. Tell us the headcount and the venue—we’ll handle scheduling, permits, and on-site service so you can focus on throwing an unforgettable Empire-State-sized party.

Skip the Line and Enjoy Your New York Large-Scale Event

New Yorkers move fast—so should your concessions. Best Food Trucks’ online ordering system lets guests at Governors Ball, a Times Square watch party, or a Brooklyn pier festival order straight from their phones, then dive right back into the action. No long queues, no yelling over subway-level noise—just a quick text when their Cubano, halal platter, or lobster roll is ready.

Want to streamline even more? Send a pre-order link with event tickets so attendees can lock in a pickup time before they hop on the LIRR or the 7 train. From sunrise charity runs on the West Side Highway to late-night film shoots in Long Island City, our platform handles New York-sized traffic—thousands of simultaneous orders without a hiccup.

Pairing food truck catering for large-scale events in New York with our high-frequency online ordering keeps lines short, mouths happy, and the spotlight on your programming—not on waiting around for lunch.

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!

The price was a little high. The gyro was delicious! I enjoyed it with side of fries and would buy it again. Would be nice if it came with ketchup for the fries - or even better liquid cheese :). Would love more menu options and more toppings offered for the burgers.

Flavor and quality were amazing. A bit pricy but they bring the food to you and you can avoid the wait. Well worth it. 10/10

I was happy with everything! If I was nit picking I'd say the drinks were not cold but that wasn't a big deal to me since we are at home. It would have been if we had been out somewhere say at the beach or a park or concert etc.

The food was amazing! We preordered and the food was done right on time! We would be happy to have this food truck back here again!

Everything! Bang bang chicken is my favorite. It's highly protein based with great sauce coating over the chicken and fries to boot. Can last me all day.
