The standard of living in New York City is high, and food does not really come cheap.

Not when there are amazing food trucks all over the city! We have even come up with a list of the best food trucks that every tourist must try. In case you are onboard a minibus in NYC and you are sightseeing with your group, ask your driver to stop so you could grab a bite.

Luke Holden, known as the crustacean king -- thanks to his popular seafood shack, Luke's Lobster -- has taken his specialty on the road.
