Honk if you’re hungry! A blockbuster lineup of munch-mobiles and food flicks in Dumbo.
Street food fans found their fondest wishes realized at the sold-out Food Truck Drive-In Movie, the marquee event of the fourth annual NYC Food Film Festival. More than 20 trucks parked inside the sprawling digs of Dumbo’s Tobacco Warehouse—from the savory stylings of Schnitzel & Things and the Bistro Truck to the beloved offerings of the Red Hook pupusa vendors to the healthful leanings of the Cinnamon Snail (vegan, organic baked goods) and the tropical-themed Green Pirate (fruit and veggie juices).
Sucking People’s Pops dispensed gratis from a Cooking Channel-sponsored truck, fusion fiends lined up en masse for eats from the Krave Korean Barbecue truck, whose Korean tacos, kimchee quesadillas and Kraver sliders usually require a jaunt to Jersey City to enjoy. A special section featured a tableau of vendors from the Brooklyn Flea, including Red Hook Lobster Pound, AsiaDog, the Milk Truck, McClure’s Pickles and more. Meanwhile, in a blessedly shady tented area, food-themed films screened throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Features of various lengths highlighted everything from LaFrieda Meats to Brooklyn Flea vendors to straight-up pizza and pasta porn. And the refreshments? Well, they sure beat the offerings at Regal Cinemas. Were you snapped?

Got a chance to make it out to the festival, so much fun! I’m loving these food trucks. I started trying them more and more about 2 months ago, largely due to my friend who swears by them. The lines on food trucks always repelled me, but then my friend showed me this website that allows users to place orders for pick up from food trucks and skip those terribly annoying lines! Yes, I know, my mind was also blown, but it is real and it works! Enjoy, ladies and gentlemen!
