MOFAD's New Exhibit Lets Families Go Behind the Cart—and Kids Love Every Bite

MOFAD's Street Food City explores the history of NYC's vending culture.

New York City’s street food scene is legendary—from hot dogs and pretzels to tamales, ice cream trucks, roasted nuts, and the halal carts that have become part of the city’s rhythm. But families who love exploring NYC’s food culture now have a brand-new way to dig in. Street Food City, a major new exhibition at the Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) in Dumbo, opened earlier this month, and it’s packed with hands-on discovery, big-kid appeal, and plenty of heart.

Street Food City invites families to step behind the cart and meet the people who’ve shaped NYC’s food landscape for centuries. It’s a thoughtful, sensory-filled exhibit perfect for curious eaters, budding historians, and kids who think a snack break is the best part of any outing. Afterward, you can enjoy food from several vendors at the Time Out Market nearby. For even more fun in the neighborhood, check out our list of 50 fun things to do in Dumbo with kids.
