10 Best Street Food Cities in the USA

1.Manhattan, New York
Upscale street food and exotic eats

Walking through the halls of Chelsea Market is like a stroll through an arts and craft exhibition. Chelsea Market is an indoor venue offering fresh feasts year-round. This place has cool storefront displays to lure you, ranging from exotic sea urchins to photogenic latte art. Some of its most popular street food kiosks include the spicy bratwursts at Berlin Currywurst, boozy frappes at Creamline, and cherry tarts at Sarabeth’s.

2.Atlanta, Georgia
Deep-fried delights

Atlanta has attracted foodies from all over the country and is now a street food hotspot in the US. A 5-minute drive from the Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta’s street food park on Howell Mill Road has a great selection of dishes, along with craft beer and plenty of seating. You’ll find Jamaican food, like the spicy jerk burger and the pile sandwich – a deliciously hot mess of beef and cheese.

3.Los Angeles, California
“Mas tacos por favor”

Aside from the famous In-N-Out Burger, most Angelenos grew up with homemade Mexican cuisine. To enjoy an LA-style local food experience, foodies should have some time to spare because LA’s great street eats are scattered throughout this mammoth city.

4.Portland, Oregon
Authentic eats with a global flair

Portland is home to young and hip out-of-state newcomers who have played an important role in America’s evolving food truck culture. Portlanders enjoy a lot of Asian cuisines, from Vietnamese pho to Indian curries, as well noodle stalls from every regional niche.

5.Nashville, Tennessee
Southern-style cooking

Street food in Nashville is usually prepared by trained chefs looking to bring gourmet food to the people. Julia’s Pastry is a large patisserie on wheels, with beautiful baked goods like cheesecakes and pies that have earned many blue ribbons. Red’s 615 Kitchen has garnered a long line of patrons for its famous southern-style fried chicken. Funk Seoul Brother serves crispy, honey-glazed Korean fried chicken that is a real crowd favourite.

6.San Francisco, California
Indulge in The City's guilty pleasures

San Francisco’s street food trucks can be found in areas such as the Soma Street Food Park, where you can find Peruvian stir-fry, curry ramen, spicy veggie miso, Filipino sausage wrap, and sushi burritos.

7.Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Savoury sandwiches in America's cheese capital

Wisconsin is known as America’s dairy state, where they put milk and cheese in just about everything. This US state also has a large German population, so street food vendors selling bratwursts and giant pretzels dipped in cheese sauce are found along Milwaukee’s North Water Street and State Street. Do check online for updates, as these vendors tend to change locations on a weekly basis.

8.Denver, Colorado
Hot bowls on cold days

Colarado’s diverse food scene is mostly dominated by a creative hipster culture. The Pink Tank food truck is known for experimental dishes like caramel waffles and chicken, served with hot sauce ice cream and crunchy bacon bits. This dish may look confusing at first, but it’s a nice combination of sweet and savoury.

Biker Jim's hotdogs originated in downtown Denver, but has since branched off into a few permanent locations, with unique meat combos like the Elk Jalapeno Cheddar and Jack-A-Lope (cherry- and habanero-infused beef dog with jack cheese).

9.Austin, Texas
Cooking in the pits, Texas-style

Austin is a hip grub hub where barbeque has been replaced by global cuisines and vegetarian options. Try planning your visit to Austin around South by Southwest Festival (SXSW), which usually takes place in late March. This week-long celebration of film and music also hosts hundreds of food vendors selling imaginative dishes that are worth the extra calories.

10.Miami, Florida
South American food done right

When you’re hungry in Florida, always try and seek out the city’s famous Latin and South American cuisine. The Wynwood district, right above downtown Miami, is a busy scene for food trucks like the World Famous House of Mac that has great lobster mac’n cheese. Zona Grill serves Venezuelan dishes like the Pepito sandwich made with French baguette, grilled beef, sweet corn, and Gouda cheese.

Miami’s street food rival is Kissimmee, located 215 miles north of downtown. This town has the World Food Trucks district, which caters to the late-night crowd. Chimi King serves Caribbean street eats like mofongo, a mashed plantain dish with garlic, chicken and shrimp. As Florida enjoys nice, warm weather throughout the year, outdoor markets rarely close.
