New York Street Food

Yesterday morning we heard about a new food truck lot from some of the vendors scheduled to be there on it’s opening day.  It’s in Hudson Square, which I’ve also heard called West Soho, and even the South Village.

For some reason, Hudson Square doesn’t seem to be catching on as a neighborhood name, but maybe this food truck lot will help the neighborhood name stick.

Last week we reported about food trucks returning to the old Tavern on the Green site.  We really enjoyed going there last summer, but the city’s Parks Department said it would not allow the trucks to return this season because of upcoming renovations at the site

Pera Turkish Tacos and Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream were reportedly serving towards the end of last week, so we stopped by the site yesterday, pieced some information together, and now we think we know what’s going on.

According to an article in Crain’s New York, some food trucks at returning to the Tavern on the Green site.

Last year we really enjoyed the food truck plaza with Pera Turkish Tacos, Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream, Ladle Of Love and of course, Rickshaw Dumplings.

According to Crain’s, Pera and VLAIC are expecting to start serving customers tomorrow.  We’ll try to head over there to ch-ch-check it out.

The case of Paty’s Tacos, who sued NYC for the right to sell food from a metered parking spot and lost, was upheld yesterday by the NYS Appellate Court.  That means NYC food trucks are still operating on the outskirts of the law.

Did you see the NY Post article last week about the hot dog vendor on LI who sold sex out of her camper too.

From the NY Post: Catherine Scalia, 45, was arrested Thursday night when she offered the off-menu special to an undercover cop and took him back to her East Rockaway pad for some home cooking.  The mother of four pleaded not guilty to a prostitution charge and was held on $2,000 bail.

It’s the second time Scalia’s been busted for mixing sex and Sabretts.  She and a pal were nailed in December 2004 for running a similar operation out of the hot-dog truck.
