Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in New York
Nothing says “only in New York” like a 5-borough block party, a sold-out Yankees playoff game, or a massive concert in Central Park—all powered by incredible food. Best Food Trucks takes large scale event catering in New York City to the next level by deploying self-contained food trucks that roll in fully licensed, fully powered, and ready to feed thousands faster than the old-school tent kitchens ever could.
Our New York food truck lineup is stacked with local legends that every New Yorker knows by name. Want all-American comfort food that gets the crowd chanting “U-S-A”? Yankee Doodle Dandy's serves crispy chicken tenders and over-the-top sandwiches perfect for Fleet Week or a Times Square watch party. Craving award-winning grandma-style Sicilian slices for a SummerStage concert? Jiannetto's Pizza fires them up fresh from the truck. Hosting tailgaters outside Citi Field? Smash Burger delivers juicy Angus patties with that signature sear.
Need to cool off a sweltering Soho street fair? The iconic Carvel Ice Cream Truck twists vanilla, chocolate, and everything in between. Looking to add global flavor to a Brooklyn film festival? MAKINA Cafe plates authentic Ethiopian-Eritrean dishes like injera and sambusas that wow even the toughest NYC food critics.
From Governors Ball to the New York City Marathon finish line, Best Food Trucks handles every detail of large-scale food truck catering in New York: permits, placement, cashless ordering, and crowd-flow strategy. Give us your headcount and vibe, and we’ll curate the perfect fleet so your attendees leave talking about the food long after the lights of the skyline fade.
Skip the Line, Soak Up the Show—The New York Way
New Yorkers don’t wait for the cross-town bus, and they shouldn’t have to wait for lunch at your large-scale event either. Best Food Trucks’ proprietary online ordering platform lets guests tap in faster than a MetroCard swipe: they browse menus from every truck on their phone, place an order, then get a text the second their hot pastrami or vegan dumplings are ready for pick-up.
The result? No winding queues clogging up the concourse at Madison Square Garden, no distracted crowds on the Coney Island boardwalk, just seamless flow and more time to cheer, dance, or network. Our system was engineered in NYC to handle Yankees-sized rushes—thousands of simultaneous orders with real-time updates—so it scales effortlessly for film festivals in Tribeca, tech expos at the Javits Center, or five-borough charity runs.
Planning ahead? Send attendees a pre-order link with their ticket confirmation and let them schedule a pick-up window before the gates even open. Vendors hit the ground running, guests grab their grub on schedule, and your event earns five-star reviews for “no lines and killer food.”
Food truck catering for large-scale events in New York plus our mobile ordering technology equals the city’s ultimate power couple—keeping the spotlight on your stage while we handle the hunger.

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.
