street cart

Sidewalk food stand

A street cart is a wheeled vehicle used by vendors to sell food, drinks, or merchandise in public spaces.

Hot dog carts, taco carts, and fruit carts are common in cities.

The term sometimes extends to non-wheeled setups: She grabbed coffee from the street cart on the corner.

Street carts occupy a space between food trucks and permanent storefronts.
