The food truck revolution in New York City is becoming overwhelming as new mobile eateries pop up every week, tweeting their changing locations, leaving lunching Gothamites’ heads spinning, not knowing what to look for when and where, just heading out onto the street and hoping a cool truck is somewhere nearby. So we’re thankful for events such as Sunday’s Food Truck Rally in Grand Army Plaza in front of Prospect Park, where eleven trucks will be stationed from 11:00 to 5:00. You can make up quite a multicourse menu of your own, with edamame, sesame noodle salad, and dumplings from the Rickshaw Dumpling Truck, artisanal grilled cheeses from Milk Truck, salads, bifteki sandwiches, and pita souvlakis from Souvlaki GR, personal pies from Eddie’s Pizza Truck, Belgian and sweet potato fries from the Frying Dutchmen, lobster and shrimp rolls from the Red Hook Lobster Pound, coffee from the Mud Truck, cookies, brownies, and crispy squares from the Treats Truck, unusual ice-cream flavors from Coolhaus, frozen yogurt from Joyride, and frosty floats from Kelvin Natural Slush Co. The event is sponsored by the NYC Food Truck Association and the Prospect Park Alliance and is a great opportunity to jump on the food truck bandwagon, if you haven’t already.
