Hot, Customizable Meals for Every New York Studio Set
From sunrise shoots at Silvercup Studios in Queens to late-night wrap parties at Steiner Studios on the Brooklyn waterfront, Best Food Trucks has spent years perfecting film crew catering in New York. We know that when the director yells “Meal break,” the clock is ticking—so our studio food truck catering service is built for speed, flavor, and flexibility.
Our New York team will work side-by-side with your production office to craft rotating daily menus that keep talent, crew, and union reps happy. Need all-American comfort food? We’ll roll in Yankee Doodle Dandy’s for crisp chicken tenders and the legendary Love Me Tender Sandwich. Craving something sweet after a long exterior shoot in Central Park? Cue the familiar jingle of Mister Softee. For pizza lovers, nothing beats a grandma slice from Jiannetto's Pizza, while burger purists rave about the seared-to-order patties from Smash Burger. And if your cast wants to spice things up, we’ll bring the injera and sambusas from MAKINA Cafe.
We’ll pinpoint the best curb space for each meal service, manage online ordering and timed pickups, and vet every truck for NYC health permits and insurance, so your assistant production coordinator can breathe easy. Plus, food trucks generate far less food and packaging waste than traditional buffet lines—good news for studios aiming for greener sets.
Whether you’re shooting a feature in Tribeca or a streaming series in Long Island City, let Best Food Trucks handle the what’s for lunch? question. Our detailed cost summaries keep you on budget, our lineup of iconic New York food trucks keeps morale high, and our experience keeps your production on schedule. That’s one less thing for you to worry about between “Action!” and “Cut!”
Fueling New York’s Studios—and Its Small Businesses
Every time a producer books our New York studio food truck catering service, a neighborhood business wins. Nearly all of the trucks we dispatch to Silvercup, Steiner, Kaufman Astoria, or a SoHo loft set are Bronx-, Brooklyn-, Queens-, Staten Island-, or Manhattan-owned family operations—think second-generation pizza makers from Bensonhurst or a Dominican mom-and-pop slinging chimis straight out of Washington Heights. Your craft-services budget keeps their lights on between weekend farmers markets and late-night street fairs, strengthening the city’s legendary street-food scene one call sheet at a time.
Choosing food trucks over chafing-dish buffets is also a win for the planet and your production’s sustainability report. Trucks draw less power than a full catering tent, rely on small-batch purchasing to cut food waste, and—thanks to New York’s commercial composting mandate—serve with compostable plates and utensils. We’ll even coordinate with set PAs to make sure recycling and organics bins are parked right next to the service window.
Bottom line: when you Google “low-budget film catering near me” for a Midtown soundstage or a dawn shoot under the Williamsburg Bridge, call Best Food Trucks. You’ll get fast, crowd-pleasing meals, a greener footprint, and the satisfaction of keeping New York’s small businesses rolling.

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.

Ashley was awesome! She checked in days beforehand to coordinate proper timing and setup, and she endured the extreme heat to provide great food and friendly service for four hours. People really enjoyed the tacos and nacho selections. Outstanding addition to our house party!
