Food Trucks for Events in Essex County, NJ
We book food trucks across 15 communities in Essex County, from Newark, East Orange and Short Hills, along with 12 other communities. Together they are home to about 470,000 people in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ area.
Local spots like Independence Park, Oval Park in East Orange, Fox Hill Preserve in Short Hills, Gero Park in Short Hills and Hartshorn Arboretum Bird Sanctuary in Short Hills are the kind of venues where our trucks serve county events. Around Newark, good fits for a food truck include tournament and game-day catering, as well as weddings and engagement parties. Schools near Newark include South Street Elementary School, Oliver Street School and East Ward Elementary School, handy context for school-event planning. Newark's main ZIP code is 07103, and nearby places include Harrison, East Newark, Irvington and Kearny.
Nearby truck bases for Essex County include Elizabeth (about 4 miles from Newark). Most Essex County addresses are within a normal drive for a truck, so travel rarely adds to a Newark quote. Newark runs on Eastern Time. Essex County has a humid subtropical climate: humid summers with afternoon showers, so plan some cover.
