NYC street food · field observations

Food Truck Clock

Pick an hour to see which trucks were spotted then. Each popup draws the truck with its food, the workers in the window and the people waiting in line.

Reading a scene

  • Truck color and the dish on the roof show the food type.
  • Heads in the window are the workers on shift.
  • People on the sidewalk are customers waiting.
  • The sky follows the hour, from dawn to late night.

Choose a time

Bar height is the number of trucks observed in that hour.
