There are a lot of great savory food trucks out there, but there are just as many great dessert trucks. You generally don’t need as many ingredients or as much equipment for dessert as you need for lunch or dinner.

The Churros Calientes Truck is bright and colorful, but has that homey feel. It’s almost like a Mexican version of the Old Traditional Polish Cuisine Truck, with pictures of windows with shutters and curtains.

Our friend got two big, overstuffed empanadas, but we were looking for dessert.

That meant a Churro Grande for $5. There are 7 different toppings and fillings to choose from. One goes on top and one goes into the middle of the churro. We got a chocolate filling with dulce de leche on top, but there was also nutella, sweet condensed milk, guava, and a few other options on the menu.

Yesterday we saw the following tweet from our friends at Itizy Ice Cream, who the sharp-eyed NYSF reader @Moneymaus tipped us off to last summer.

Itizy Ice Cream Getting prepped for a new fantastic season! Check out our new website and flavors. Kicking off the season tomorrow @ Columbia

Turns out the tweet was a little off base. Another NYSF reader @Out4LunchBlog saw them by Columbia University yesterday and sent us the photo below of their Cookies & Cream flavor. How did they know Cookies & Cream is one of our favorite flavors?

Itizy has a bunch of new flavors this year, and some interesting way to deliver them, such as ice cream pops.

Click through to see what some of their new flavors are.

We spotted a new donut truck yesterday on Varick St by Vandam, and it turned out to be their very 1st day on the street.

Carpe Donut serves freshly-made hot organic donuts, hibiscus iced tea and hot apple cider.

We tried a donut, which is made by their very own Donut Robot in the truck.

The Kelvin Slush Truck is back today, and to celebrate a few things, they are giving away FREE slushes to their fans.

What is there to celebrate?

How about the return of the Kelvin Slush Truck!

How about the new Smorgasburg counter at Whole Foods Market with delicious goodies from a bunch of different Smorgasburg vendors!

With apologies to the Talking Heads, “And you may ask yourself…how do I get there?”
