When you choose food trucks over traditional catering, ensuring that your venue can accommodate a mobile kitchen is a crucial part of your event planning process.

Luckily, we’ve made things easy for you. Below are a few key considerations you should make when scoping out a venue for food truck catering, and more importantly, a list of the very best New York food truck venues!

Size/capacity

Your venue needs to be large enough that you can host a substantial guest list and a vehicle.

Outdoor space

Large outdoor space is the easiest place to position a food truck, so it's ideal if your venue has outdoor space, but it's not necessary.

Indoor capability

Many of New York’s food trucks and food carts can operate inside, so don’t feel restricted to outdoor venues. Contact the venue staff and see if they are able to accommodate a mobile kitchen indoors!
