Food Trucks!!! When we were last in midtown Manhattan the plan was to avoid as many restaurants as possible and eat from food trucks and carts….we almost made it. Thing is, these trucks are here specifically for the workers who come buzzing out of the many skyscrapers in order to get a quick reasonably priced lunch before they buzz back into their concrete hives. On the weekends these trucks disappear or at least they weren’t around midtown where we were. I highly recommend that when in New York you give one or several of these trucks a try. Good food and much less expensive than a touristy restaurant.
Buzz out oh you busy workers
Sustenance awaits you on wheels.
Sit on some steps to chow and chat
Then back to your hive to finish that report.
(Note: So maybe Mister Softee isn’t a food truck in the sense that the other ones are but it made me squeal with joy to see a childhood favorite again – and it is a truck. Uncle Gussy’s is a Greek truck.)

Yeay for food trucks!
I totally agree!!!
One thing I loved when in NY was the pretzels… I could have eaten them all day…
The pretzels are iconic but there is so much more out there to explore 🙂
we probably tried it all… but those darn pretzels, and I can’t get them here… it was the same with the coffee “Wa Wa’s” if I could get it here you wouldn’t get me out of the coffee shop…
I have to hit up the Philly pretzels next.
Just a couple weeks ago, Chicago approved 23 locations for food trucks around the City. It’s about time, too. It will be interesting to see which ones thrive and which don’t.
Chicago is just getting into the food trucks? Tardy to the party! I’d be interested in knowing what kind will show up.
Have you tried Wafels & Dinges? Delish!
Wish I had seen that truck 🙂
Years ago I stopped eating at NY food trucks….won’t tell you why – lol
Can already guess I don’t want to know why! LOL But I’m still fearless and keep trying them there and here.
I almost removed NY, just leery of all especially the trucks in Philly. Love the post!
prospect park in brooklyn had tons of them every sunday this past summer. hopefully i can take advantage next year. #BLMGirls
Oh you should! They are an adventure – hehehe. And a lot of them really are good. Some places like here even have food truck festivals.
I love food trucks. They can be kind of pricey so I limit myself to three when there is a food trunk sample event. Great post!

Just three??? You have a strong will then. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I have yet to try our local food trucks.. and with our snow, it may not be until next spring! This sure makes me want to get out there and find them!
I keep forgetting you are up North there but when spring comes I would love to see what sorts of trucks you have there 🙂
Way cool ! I have ben wanting to try some food truck fare, but we don’t have anything like that around here…except for construction site lunch wagons. I’ve sampled many of those and they are actually quite good.
Well you wouldn’t want a surly construction worker mad at you now would you? LOL They seem to be growing in popularity all over the place and they are interesting to explore.
