I'll be calling Philly home for the month of September and big fan of food trucks since they usually carry local flair. Just wondering if folks out here can share any resources on where to find them (squares, farmer's markets) and if there is any standout I must try. Hopefully I can find a cluster that parks on a Sunday lot like we have in Boston for SOWA.

Well if you get here by Sept 1, you try Night Market. There is one in Sept 1 and Oct 6

Oh man you're in luck! The Manayunk StrEAT Food Festival is September 18th and just about every single food truck in Philly will be there. It's my favorite event that Manayunk puts on!

Head over to Drexel University 33nd and Market and explore, the best food trucks in the city are found on that campus.

Love Park has a rotating food truck calendar, many of the local favorites swing through there in the course of a week: http://www.phila.gov/ParksandRecreat...20Calendar.pdf

Most food trucks are now overpriced and overhyped. Two tacos from a food truck should not be $9 ... I'm done with them.
