Video: NYC FOOD CART TOUR: Trini Paki Boys

SADLY, TRINI PAKI BOYS IS NOW CLOSED.

Forget hot dogs. Halal food is probably the most ubiquitous food from food carts today. And that is because of an influx of Muslim immigrants into the city over the last few decades. The first halal vendor in Midtown is still going strong and serving the best chicken over rice in the city. Trini Paki Boys is a fusion of cultures named for the owners’ seven sons and nationalities.
