Hot, Customizable Meals for Every New York Studio Set!

From the soundstages at Kaufman Astoria to the rooftops of Chelsea, Best Food Trucks has spent years keeping New York film crews fueled and focused. We know a tight shooting schedule leaves zero room for catering delays, so our team syncs seamlessly with your call sheet, ensuring every grip, gaffer, and guest star gets a hot, made-to-order meal right on time.

We’ll collaborate with your production office to build rotating daily menus that keep the crew excited—think crispy tenders from Yankee Doodle Dandy's, thin-crust grandma slices from Jiannetto's Pizza, sizzling Angus patties courtesy of Smash Burger, and vegan-friendly injera bowls from MAKINA Cafe. Wrap the day with soft-serve cones from the iconic Carvel Ice Cream Truck, and watch morale skyrocket.

Our New York studio catering service covers everything: scouting the perfect curb outside Silvercup or Steiner, securing city permits and COIs, setting up contact-free ordering, and providing real-time cost breakdowns that meet even the most stringent production budgets. Plus, food truck catering slashes food and packaging waste—good news for a city that never sleeps but always recycles.

Let Best Food Trucks handle the meal logistics so you can keep rolling. When it comes to food truck catering for studios in New York, we’re the seasoned pros who make “quiet on set” sound a lot more appetizing.

On Location Catering catering

Fueling New York’s Independent Food Scene

Choosing food truck catering for your New York studio set does more than keep cast and crew well fed—it directly supports the small businesses that give this city its flavor. Every truck we roll up to Kaufman Astoria, Steiner, or Broadway Stages is owned by solo chefs, family operators, and first-generation entrepreneurs chasing the American dream one sandwich at a time. By booking Best Food Trucks for your New York studio catering, you’re keeping production dollars circulating inside the five boroughs and strengthening the local economy instead of padding a national chain’s bottom line.

Our trucks are also sustainability winners. Compared with traditional craft-services buffets, food trucks draw far less power, operate from compact kitchens, and serve meals in compostable packaging that aligns with NYC’s zero-waste goals. Fewer generators humming, fewer trash bags piling up—your green-production supervisor will thank you.

So when the production coordinator searches “low-budget film catering near me” or “NYC food truck for set lunch,” skip the bland aluminum trays. Park a locally owned truck outside your soundstage, give the crew a taste of real New York, and keep your shoot rolling on time and on budget with socially responsible, eco-friendly eats.

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.

Fries were blah. I love shoestring fries but these were not great. Very plain. Not a great taste. Our burgers were very good. Chicken fingers were average. I wish we could find a place that did amazing beer battered chicken fingers.
