Announcements for two street food events made it into my mailbox today –
New Yorkers, get thee to Lower Manhattan this afternoon for the Street Vendor Project‘s Pushcart Market, which started this morning at 10 and will go until 6 (with a very happy Happy Hour at 5 PM). Among the yummy offerings — handcrafted ice cream, jerk chicken, and vegan desserts — plus a chance to win much coveted tickets to the Vendy Awards.
For more details check out their Facebook page.
Those on the Left Coast have a little more time to prepare for Oakland’s 2nd Annual Eat Real Festival, which will be held August 27-29. In addition to 80 vendors selling everything from traditional street tacos to creme brulee to clam chowda, there will be loads of DIY mini-classes teaching you to make your own cheese or how to vertically garden, as well as various forms of entertainment including food related poetry slams and noodle pulling demonstrations.
I went last year
and ate quite well…
I love it!

They’re all jealous of Vancouver’s Japadog! I’m on vacation but can’t wait to get back home and have a Terimayo, a hot dog with nori, Japanese mayo, and teriyaki sauce.
