Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in New York
From summer concerts on the Great Lawn in Central Park to season-opening tailgates outside Yankee Stadium, New Yorkers expect two things at any large gathering: unforgettable entertainment and jaw-dropping food. Modern food truck catering delivers both. Unlike the old-school tent kitchens that used to crowd the five boroughs—complete with extra permits, generators, and hours of set-up—today’s food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, plug in, and start serving within minutes. That speed and flexibility make food truck catering the perfect solution for festivals on Governors Island, corporate outings at Hudson Yards, or marathon finish-line parties along the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple vendors for large-scale event catering in New York, giving your guests the kind of culinary variety only our city can provide. Craving all-American comfort food? Book Yankee Doodle Dandy’s for legendary chicken tenders and the famous Love Me Tender sandwich. Need a classic New York slice to keep the crowd happy? Jiannetto's Pizza serves award-winning grandma-style Sicilian squares right from the truck. Looking for premium burgers that shout “NYC street food”? Smash Burger delivers Angus perfection on a buttered Martin’s roll.
Round out your menu with global flavors and iconic desserts. MAKINA Cafe brings the rich aromas of Ethiopian-Eritrean cuisine—think injera, gomen, and sambusas—straight to your block party in Brooklyn or film shoot in Queens. For a sweet finish, nothing beats the soft-serve legend itself: the Carvel Ice Cream Truck, a NYC staple since 1929, swirling vanilla, chocolate, or the classic twist that generations of New Yorkers grew up loving.
No matter the borough or the headcount—10,000 fans at a Randall’s Island festival or 500 employees at a Midtown corporate launch—Best Food Trucks makes large event food truck catering in New York simple. Tell us your venue, guest count, and vibe, and we’ll curate a fleet of top-rated NYC food trucks to feed the masses without the hassle. Your event, our trucks, New York flavor—let’s make it happen.
Skip the line and soak in the New York energy!
Nothing kills the buzz of a Brooklyn block party or a concert at Citi Field faster than a wrap-around food line. Best Food Trucks solves that problem with our cutting-edge online ordering system, purpose-built for large-scale event food truck catering in New York. Guests pull out their phones, browse every truck’s menu—whether it’s artisanal pastrami on rye or Korean tacos—and tap to order. When their grub is hot, a text pings them faster than an express subway at 14th Street.
The result? More time cheering, networking, or dancing, and zero time stuck in a queue. Planning a charity 5K in Prospect Park or an outdoor film screening on the Hudson River Greenway? Send attendees a pre-order link so they can book a precise pickup slot before the gates even open. Our platform is engineered for the same high-frequency rush you see at Grand Central during rush hour, so servicing ten thousand hungry New Yorkers is a breeze.
Food trucks plus online ordering equals event-day greatness. Keep the spotlight on your headliner, your brand activations, or that skyline sunset, while we keep everyone fed—quickly, safely, and oh-so-deliciously.

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.

It was the best gluten-free pizza I've had since New York City and the chocolate Dubai dessert was amazing. I hope they come to Starkey ranch again soon!!

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...
