Hot, Customizable Meals for New York Studios—Ready the Moment the Director Says “Cut!”
From sunrise shoots on the Brooklyn waterfront to late-night pickups at Silvercup and Kaufman Astoria, Best Food Trucks keeps New York film crews fueled and focused. We’ve spent years dialing in studio food truck catering across the five boroughs, so your meal breaks run as smoothly as a perfectly timed dolly shot.
Our New York team will collaborate with your production office to craft rotating daily menus, pinpoint the best curb spots for quick service (yes, even on those narrow Queens streets), and streamline online ordering and pickup—no more endless craft-service lines. We vet every vendor for NYC permits, insurance, and DOHMH grades, then provide a clear cost breakdown that fits your budget and your call sheet.
Craving hometown favorites? We partner with some of Gotham’s most loved mobile kitchens:
- Yankee Doodle Dandy’s dishes out all-American comfort classics like their famous Love Me Tender Chicken Sandwich—perfect after a cold shoot on the High Line.
- Carvel Ice Cream Truck rolls up with iconic soft-serve cones and Flying Saucers to keep cast morale high between takes.
- Jiannetto’s Pizza fires grandma-style Sicilian squares that beat any late-night slice on 8th Avenue.
- Smash Burger sizzles Angus patties to order—ideal for feeding a hungry grips crew at Steiner Studios.
- MAKINA Cafe brings authentic Ethiopian-Eritrean flavors like injera and sambusas, giving your craft table serious global flair.
Food truck catering also means less packaging waste than traditional buffet service, helping New York productions stay green—another win when you’re filming in our city parks. Let Best Food Trucks handle the meals so you can keep your focus where it belongs: on the shot, not the spread.
Keep It Local: Fuel Your Set While Backing NYC’s Small Businesses
Choosing Best Food Trucks for your New York studio catering isn’t just a smart move for the craft budget—it’s a boost for the city’s vibrant network of street-food entrepreneurs. Each truck that pulls up outside Kaufman Astoria or stages on Broadway Stages in Greenpoint is owned by a Queens family, a Bronx start-up, or a Brooklyn-born chef chasing the American dream on four wheels. Every gyro, slice, and taco you order sends real dollars back into our local economy instead of some far-away corporate commissary.
Food trucks are also the greenest way to feed a hungry film crew in New York. Tight mobile kitchens sip far less electricity than a full build-out buffet line, and our “order-ahead, walk-up” system slashes single-use utensils and craft-services waste—no more dumpsters overflowing on 37th Street between takes.
So the next time you open a tab and type “low-budget film catering near me,” remember that the most sustainable, small-business-friendly option is already idling at the curb. Book Best Food Trucks and give your New York production the local flavor—and karma boost—it deserves.

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.

The brisket melt is absolutely delicious. We loved the seasoning on the fresh cut fries. This is definitely our favorite sandwich truck that comes to Talavera.

I was just a little disappointed that they didn't have the chess pie that I had ordered. The red beans and rice were really good.
