Copy link1. Mongolian BBQ Cart
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Emy MooreMeat -- pork, beef, squid, shrimp, lamb, and more --on sticks. Meat on sticks! The men in this cart send a plume of smoke up through Flushing as they char the kebabs on the grill. (Stand clear, or risk smelling like a bonfire for the rest of the night). The meat is crackling, the sidewalk is full of customers, and you can get way too full on five bucks. They’re open late, and best enjoyed after a few beers in the neighborhood. If you order your meat extra spicy, as you should, you’ll want a beer after eating your meat sticks, too.

6. Ling’s Sweet Mini Cakes
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Emy MooreMini cakes experienced a surge of Instagram fame when Eggloo, a Mulberry Street ice cream shop, had the bright idea to wrap ‘em around a scoop, stick in a couple of Pockys, and charge you $9. Ling’s, on the other hand, serves fifteen of these eggy, fluffy cakes for just $1.50. You can drizzle them with condensed milk or get them filled with chocolate, but hot and crispy off the griddle, they’re just perfect on their own.

9. Coolhaus
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Joshua Kaufman L.A. import Coolhaus is an arty ice cream sandwich truck with a simple concept: pick your cookie --- chocolate, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, etc. --- and choose an ice cream to pack inside. But then the choices of tantalizing flavors numb your mind almost as easily as the ice cream numbs your mouth. Go traditional? There's Tahitian vanilla bean and strawberries & cream. A little more gourmet? Try sea salt caramel or mascarpone with balsamic fig. Totally weird? You’ve gotta choose between brown butter with candied bacon (arguably a good one for breakfast) or pistachio with black truffles.
