Cookies, Brownies & Goodies Galore! That’s the perfect subtitle for the book coming out tomorrow (Nov 1) from one of our favorite bakers in NYC, Kim Ima of the Treats Truck.
Click through for a message from Kim, where to order the book, and if you can’t wait, where Kim will be signing the book this week.

Big news from Kim Ima of the Treats Truck. As reported by Zagat , Treats Truck will be opening a shop in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Not only will they have Kim’s amazing baked goodies, but they will reportedly serve breakfast and lunch as well.
And if you want to try making some of these treats at home, Kim has a cookbook coming out November 1st called The Treats Truck Baking Book: Cookies, Brownies & Goodies Galore!.
We would love to try making a batch of those amazing Mexican brownies at home!
Kim & Treats Truck on the NYSF Tour
The incessant police crackdown on food trucks in midtown has claimed it’s first permanent victim – The Treats Truck.
Yesterday afternoon, Kim Ima posted the following truly depressing message on Facebook:
“To my dear customers, we will not be midtown for the time being. The police have let us know that they no longer can allow food trucks in the midtown area. You have all made the past four years very special. You can always order for delivery or come by our new spots. I’ll miss you very much, and thank you for making my Treats Truck dream come true. All my best and thanks, Kim Ima (the Treats Truck lady)”
Kim and the Treats Truck have been a wonderful presence in midtown the past 4 years, and Treats Truck was the first stop on the New York Street Food Tour. They will be impossible to replace, but maybe we can get the law changed so food trucks can legally sell their wares within New York City limits.
We saw a pretty cool event in Brooklyn next weekend that Frites ‘N’ Meats tweeted about – and it’s a fundraiser for a very good cause – public school arts education.
Touch-A-Truck Brooklyn will let kids climb inside, touch and explore the trucks you see everyday, plus a bunch of other cool vehicles. All proceeds will benefit the arts programs at P.S. 295 – music, dance, drama, and visual arts.

The BLT Restaurant Group will inaugurate a restaurant on wheels the weekend of April 17 and 18 when its new Go Burger truck heads out to street fairs around the city. It will have a menu of burgers, hot dogs, a breakfast frittata, a salad, sweets and milk shakes, $3 to $9.
On Saturday (17th), it will be at the Police Athletic League festival on University Place between Waverly Place and 14th Street, and on Sunday (18th) it will be on 45th Street between Avenue of the Americas and Seventh Avenue for the Times Square Spring Block Party.
The Go Burger truck’s locations can be found at goburger.com and twitter.com/goburger. We have already added Go Burger to the NYSF Mobile Munchies twitter feed.
Also on the food truck front, there will be a conclave of them meeting at the Hells Kitchen Flea Market from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on May 2 (rain date May 9), at 39th Street and Ninth Avenue, with Bistro Truck, Treats Truck, Calexico Carne Asada, Frites ‘n’ Meats, Rickshaw Dumpling Truck and Big Gay Ice Cream Truck.
