Local know-how
Good to know in Manhattan
Check your dateNew to this? Read how to rent a food truck and what goes into the price.
- 01
Curb space is tight
Street parking is scarce and regulated, so the easiest spot is private property: a plaza, a lot, a driveway or a loading area with the owner’s OK.
- 02
Buildings want paperwork
Most commercial buildings ask for a certificate of insurance before a vendor arrives. We send it to management, typically within one business day.
- 03
Streets, plazas and parks need a permit
An event on a public street, a pedestrian plaza or in a park runs on a city permit that the organizer applies for. Tell us the location and we tell you what it needs.
- 04
Arrival windows
Many buildings set delivery and arrival times. Give us the rules and we plan the truck’s arrival and service around them.
