Hot, Customizable Meals for Every New York Studio Set
When the cameras roll at Silvercup, Steiner, or Kaufman Astoria, you need food truck catering for your studio in New York that’s as fast-paced and dynamic as the city itself. Best Food Trucks has spent years feeding Gotham’s film and TV crews, so we know how to keep your talent and crew satisfied without missing a take. From early-morning call times in Long Island City to late-night shoots in Brooklyn, our on-site meal service keeps productions running smoothly.
We collaborate with your production office to create rotating daily menus that respect dietary preferences, union break windows, and your bottom line. Our New York food truck roster features local legends like Yankee Doodle Dandy's for all-American chicken sandwiches, Jiannetto's Pizza for grandma-style Sicilian slices, and MAKINA Cafe for vibrant Ethiopian-Eritrean bowls. Craving smash-style burgers or something sweet between scenes? We’ll park Smash Burger next to Carvel Ice Cream Truck so your crew can grab a double-cheesed classic and finish with a twist cone before the director yells “Action!”
Best Food Trucks handles every logistical detail—permitting, insurance, traffic control, pickup windows, and location scouting—so your assistant directors don’t have to. Our digital ordering system lets grips, gaffers, and guest stars place customized orders straight from their phones, minimizing lines and maximizing break time. Plus, choosing eco-friendly food trucks over traditional craft services lowers food and packaging waste, keeping New York a little greener.
Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime on set. For reliable, delicious food truck catering for studio crews in New York, we’re the one call that feeds them all.
Fueling the Set—And New York’s Small Businesses
Booking food truck catering for your New York studio set does more than quiet rumbling stomachs—it keeps the city’s independent culinary scene alive. Every gyro sliced in Astoria, every pressed cubano in Washington Heights, and every plant-based taco in Bushwick is prepared by a family-run truck that depends on film and TV productions like yours. When you type “on-set food truck catering New York” and land on Best Food Trucks, you’re putting real money back into the five boroughs instead of a distant corporate kitchen.
Most of our partner trucks are owner-operated micro-businesses. The chef who hands your DP a Brooklyn brisket melt is the same person balancing the books at midnight in Bay Ridge. That direct connection means fresher menus, hyper-local ingredients from Hunts Point and Union Square Greenmarket, and the kind of New York hustle that never misses a meal window.
Food trucks are also a greener choice for studio catering in NYC. Compact kitchens mean lower energy use than a traditional craft-service tent, and our digital ordering system slashes food waste by cooking each order on demand. We even coordinate post-shoot compost pickup with city-approved vendors, keeping landfill trash to a New York minute minimum.
So the next time your production manager searches “low-budget film catering near me,” remember that the smartest, most socially responsible answer is rolling on four wheels. Book your New York studio food truck with Best Food Trucks and feed your crew while you feed the local economy.

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.
