Few weeks ago, The Big Gay Ice Cream truck had their big season end party over at the East Village. They were accompanied by NYC Cravings and Cupcake Stop. After work I went down to check all the trucks out. As I was walking over to Destination Bar, where the ice cream truck had parked in front of, I had this incredible idea. What if I combined a cupcake from Cupcake Stop with ice cream from the Big Gay Ice Cream? And top it off with something savory from Cravings?!

I had my heart set on getting the salty pimp from Doug and Bryan but then I realized that they had to turn the ice cream upside down and dip it into the chocolate. Didn’t think it would’ve been possible to do that if the ice cream was inside a cup. So……I ended up getting a triple chocolate cupcake and got the gobbler sundae over it! Bryan was super nice about it. The line for Cravings was super long so I didn’t bother lining up but they were serving onion pancake, they could’ve worked with the gobbler triple chocolate.

What can I say? It was crazily good.

The idea of trucks serving food and drinks is definitely not new. You have the classic ice cream truck with its eerie, yeah sounds creepy to me, music playing while driving around town. There’s also the food trucks that serves construction workers. I remember having an In-N-Out truck at my high school too! Best thing ever! Here in NYC you’ll find Halal food trucks parked near office buildings everyday, ready to serve the lunch crowds. So when did this whole food truck craze began? And why didn’t people think of this earlier? Anyways none of these questions really matters, what matters is that they are here and loads of them too.
One random night I came up with the idea of TRYING THEM ALL! A tour of the city, Queens and Brooklyn. Find all food trucks and try them. Then Howard suggested we try all of them IN ONE DAY! Sounds crazy but it might just work. I have already tried Wafels & Dinges, The Dessert Truck and The Treats Truck but I will try them again. Though I’m quite sad to have to leave out the Calexico Taco Cart since technically it’s a cart and not a truck but I have already decided to go this Friday to eat a taco there. A post from Serious Eats about food trucks using Twitter helped a lot and now I am following all the NYC ones. I remember reading about Super Tacos in the UWS so I googled that for more info and found more food trucks. I THINK I have done enough research and is pretty happy with the list I came up with. Pretty sure there are more trucks out there but I couldn’t find any more.
