Ask any Philadelphian and they’ll tell you. This city has a pretty happening (and delicious!) street food scene. It’s concentrated in Center City, West Philadelphia and around Temple University, but you’ll also find a vary of trucks and carts in nearly every neighborhood.

Next Saturday, three Philly street food vendors are headed to New York City, to show the Big Apple just how phenomenal our street food is at the 6th Annual Vendy Awards. It’s the first time that vendors from a city other than New York have been invited to participate in the Vendys, so it’s quite an honor.

The Vendys are a project of the New York Street Vendor Project and our participation has been coordinated by Philly Homegrown.

The lucky vendors are Honest Tom’s Taco Shop, Denise’s Soul Food Restaurant and the Chester County-based Birch Run on a Roll.
