5 NYC Food Trucks To Keep You Warm This Winter


New York is the city that never sleeps— or hibernates. As temperatures drop and the winter season approaches, life just doesn’t seem to slow down, and life for food truck owners is no exception! 

You might expect the outdoor nature of a mobile business to pose a challenge during colder months, but year after year, we find that New York City food trucks and carts— from the quintessential hot dog stands and halal carts to more out-of-the-box options— keep their businesses alive, well, and even booming.

If you’re a street food lover, a party planner, or both, this should come as fantastic news. This means that your lunch breaks during January won’t suffer, and neither will the iconic parties you throw down. 

Keep reading to discover the 5 best NYC food trucks for winter and to find out how you can book these mobile businesses to cater your next holiday or winter party!

1. B Bistro

What better way to stay snug than by slurping up warm B Bistro pho? Just one bowl of this tasty beef broth, noodles, meatballs, and veggies can leave any chilly New Yorker feeling bundled up. 

But that’s not all B Bistro has to offer. The New York food truck is also known for their delicious, traditional Vietnamese sandwiches: beef, chicken, pork, or vegan banh mi, and other specialty rice entrees that are absolutely to die for. 

Book B Bistro for your winter party to bring comforting Vietnamese street food to center stage.

2. Caffè Arrone

Nothing complements a New York City winter better than a warm cup of coffee. Book Caffè Aronne’s espresso truck for your next holiday event to keep your party guests cozy and caffeinated! 

Not only is the coffee— from cappuccinos and lattes to espressos and americanos— absolutely delicious, but the vintage feel of the coffee truck (as well as its indoor capability) will elevate the entire holiday party aesthetic and inspire heartwarming photo-ops! 

When you choose Caffè Aronne, there’s no doubt that guests will appreciate the specially crafted, Italian-inspired coffee- pure, luscious, and creamy- that put the finishing touches on a true winter wonderland.

3. MozzArepas

The winter season is all about cheese and carbs, and lucky for you, so is MozzArepas! The MozzArepas truck is a New York take on Colombian arepas, and the warm, cheesy goodness that this truck is known for is best experienced first-hand during the cold NYC winter! 

Especially if you’re throwing a party with a diverse guest list or you’re working with an indoor venue, your best bet is booking a cosmopolitan caterer with indoor capability, and who better fit for the job than the MozzArepas food truck?

 Just one look at their arepas will leave your mouth watering!
