Chinatown BarBQ Cart

Chinatown BarBQ Cart sits along a stretch of Grand Street where the sidewalks hum with foot traffic in every season. Beyond the cart’s sizzle and smoke, the category thrives because a good quick bite can feel like a small victory; here, the action is all in the thin-crust aromas and the crack of caramelized edges. Between lunch crowds and evening passers-by, this corner keeps the rhythm steady—comfort food that travels well, small plates meant to be shared, and a setting where kids can wiggle without fuss before dessert arrives. To reach them, call 212-925-2283 or swing by 250 Grand St, New York, NY 10002; the block is narrow enough that the address almost hides in plain sight. After parking or stepping off the B or D at Grand, follow the scent; directions are mapped here.
