Hot, Customizable Meals for Every New York Studio Set
From the sound stages of Silvercup and Kaufman Astoria to the bustling backlots of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Best Food Trucks has spent years perfecting New York studio catering. We know that on a fast-moving set, a five-minute delay can cost thousands—so our food truck catering for studios in New York is built around timeliness, flavor, and flexibility.
Our team will:
- Design rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited (yes, even the pickiest Manhattanites).
- Scout and secure the optimal curb space—whether it’s a tight Midtown side street or a spacious Queens lot—working with NYPD traffic agents when needed.
- Streamline online ordering and rapid pick-up so your AD never hears “ waiting on meals .”
- Vet every vendor for NYC Department of Health permits, insurance, and fire-safety compliance.
- Provide a clear cost summary & analysis that respects your production budget.
Ready for comfort food that keeps energy high during an overnight shoot? Line up Yankee Doodle Dandy’s for crispy chicken tenders and the legendary Love Me Tender sandwich. Need a late-night slice the moment the director calls “cut”? Jiannetto’s Pizza brings award-winning grandma-style Sicilian squares right to your loading dock.
For premium burgers that satisfy both vegan PAs and carnivorous grips, Smash Burger smashes Angus patties to order. Cool down a summer exterior shoot with a swirl from the Carvel Ice Cream Truck, an NYC icon since 1929. And when your crew craves something global, MAKINA Cafe delivers vibrant Ethiopian-Eritrean bowls that turn lunch into a cultural moment.
Food truck catering isn’t just convenient—it’s greener. Mobile kitchens drastically reduce food and packaging waste compared to traditional buffet service, a win for your sustainability report and for New York’s environment.
Let Best Food Trucks handle your New York studio catering so you can focus on getting the perfect shot. Hot, customizable meals will be ready when you call “lunch,” and your crew will be back on set—well-fed and on schedule.
Supporting NYC’s Small Businesses—One Set at a Time
Booking our New York studio food truck catering does more than fill call-sheets and stomachs—it fuels the city’s small-business engine. Every truck we dispatch is run by a Queens-based family, a Brooklyn-born chef, or a Manhattan street-cart vet who finally leveled up to four wheels. Your lunch break keeps rent paid in Jackson Heights, dance lessons funded in Flatbush, and college dreams alive in the Bronx.
Choosing food trucks for your film-set catering in NYC is also a sustainability win. Mobile kitchens sip far less power than a diesel generator hooked to chafing dishes, and most of our vendors already roll with compostable serviceware to meet the city’s zero-waste goals. A growing number of rigs are even fully electric—perfect for productions shooting inside the “Made in NY” soundstage grid where idling is a no-go.
So the next time your production assistant Googles “low-budget film catering near me,” send them our way. You’ll score crave-worthy meals, keep New York’s independent operators thriving, and shrink your carbon footprint before the slate even snaps.

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.
