12 Famous Street Food Vendors You Need To Visit In NYC - Daily Meal

Naeem Khandaker was determined to bring the flavors of his heritage to New York City. The result was Tong, which claims to be America's first authentic Bangladeshi street food cart. While Queens had its fair share of authentic Bangladeshi restaurants, no one was selling street food. Khandaker saw an untapped market and went in with a cart in Jackson Heights. Now there are several throughout Queens and the Bronx, as well as a brick-and-mortar in Jamaica.

Tong is famous for its fuchka, a crisp hollow semolina shell filled with chickpea, onions, green chili, yellow peas, potato, cilantro, spices, and grated hard-boiled egg over the top. It comes with a tamarind water dipping sauce for a spicy and sweet crunch mouth explosion. "Unbelievable fuchka — haven't had fuchka this good in a long time. Definitely rivals the best fuchka in Bangladesh," a customer wrote on Facebook. 

At Tong, you'll also delight in dishes like mango or guava masala and jhal muri, which is a puffed rice dish with muri masala, green chilies, coriander leaves, potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and pickled mustard oil.
