The Jalapeno NYC is a relatively new truck that appeared on the New York Street Food scene in April.  They park most days on Hudson St, but since the police said there were too many trucks around King St, the Jalapeno NYC truck moved 2 blocks up Hudson St between Houston and Clarkson Sts.  This seemed to do the...

You know what goes great with Kelvin Slush?  How about some Don Q Rum! Alex from Kelvin Slush tells us that people keep coming up to the truck and asking if they serve alcohol (which they don’t), so some people have started surreptitiously bringing their own mini-bottles and making what they call “Prohibition Style” slushies. This had already been happening quite...
