Lechonera La Unica - New Haven

Authorities in New Haven are revoking the vending permits of two food trucks after one vendor pulled a knife on another, who promptly responded by pulling out a gun.  Gives the term “food fight” a whole new meaning. [New Haven Independent]

New Haven Cupcake Truck

Brownie from Blondie & Brownie went home to New Haven for a family event and finally had a chance to try the New Haven Cupcake Truck. At the Cupcake Truck you choose your cupcake and frosting for $2 and then add toppings like rainbow and chocolate sprinkles for .25 or premium toppings like cocoa nibs for .50 or more.  Her conclusion: “The cupcakes were delicious. Moist and sweet but not too sweet.”  For her complete report, including the agonizing choices she had to make among all the various cupcakes and toppings, click here.
