Hot, Customizable Meals Ready When You Are—Right Here in New York!
From early-morning shoots in Brooklyn’s Steiner Studios to late-night pickups on Broadway sound stages, Best Food Trucks has spent years perfecting on-set food truck catering for studios in New York City. We know the local union rules, the tight Manhattan parking, and the no-nonsense attitude of NYC film crews. Our team partners with your production coordinator to design rotating daily menus, select optimal curbside service spots, streamline online ordering and pick-up, and verify every vendor’s permits and insurance before the first call sheet goes out.
Need classic American comfort for a high-energy action scene? We can roll in Yankee Doodle Dandy’s for their famous Love Me Tender Chicken Sandwiches. Looking to cool the cast between takes in Chelsea? The Carvel Ice Cream Truck swirls up iconic soft-serve that keeps morale high. For those demanding a real New York slice, Jiannetto's Pizza fires Grandma-style Sicilian squares that taste like Little Italy on wheels. Craving premium burgers for a Bronx night shoot? Smash Burger sears Angus beef patties to order. And when your vegan AD wants something unique, MAKINA Cafe delivers Ethiopian-Eritrean flavors that turn lunch break into a cultural experience.
Food truck catering for studios in New York isn’t just delicious—it’s smart. Trucks create less food and packaging waste than traditional buffet service, helping your production stay green and under budget. We’ll provide a detailed cost analysis up front, so the only surprise you get is how much your crew loves the food. Let Best Food Trucks handle the mealtime logistics for your next NYC shoot, and cross “feed the crew” off your worry list.
Supporting New York’s Small Businesses—One Set at a Time
Every time you book food truck catering for your New York studio set, you’re putting real money back into the five boroughs. Most of the trucks we dispatch to Silvercup, Steiner, or Kaufman Astoria are owned by Queens commissary families, Bronx pit-masters, or Brooklyn bakers who have turned their culinary hustle into a rolling storefront. Choosing a truck instead of a national craft-service chain means that your production dollars stay local—helping parents pay NYC rent, funding scholarships at CUNY, and keeping neighborhood kitchens humming long after you call, “That’s a wrap!”
Food trucks aren’t just good for Gotham’s economy—they’re kinder to the planet, too. A single truck uses a fraction of the energy that a full buffet line or diesel generator kitchen burns, and our vendors serve with compostable plates sourced right from the Union Square Greenmarket. Less waste, lighter footprint, happier film commission. So the next time you type “low-budget film catering near me” or “New York studio food truck catering” into your phone, remember Best Food Trucks. We’ll feed your crew, uplift local entrepreneurs, and keep your production as green as Central Park in May.

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!

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
