Dessert Truck Makes Its Midtown Debut Today!

The Dessert Truck is beginning its daytime operations today, and will attempt to find a spot on Park Ave. between 51+53rd streets from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Treats Truck is awesome, and Wafels & Dinges are nice, but the Dessert Truck is some serious shit. We’re talking chocolate bread pudding, molten chocolate cake, vanilla creme brulee, goat cheese cheesecake and more. Restaurant quality desserts, out of truck, and everything is $5.
As you know, finding a permanent spot is difficult, so I’ll keep you up to date on their progress. Welcome to the neighborhood boys! To read more about the Dessert Truck, check out this post on Serious Eats: New York.
UPDATE: As of 11:07 a.m. the truck has found a space on Park between 51+52nd.

are those…….are they…..those things on *TWITCH* that dessert……might they be……..nuts? If so, I will be happy to bite your nuts off
-
Do I have to wait until 11:30!
-
Here you go, the three-course midtown lunch: the (relatively) light and lucious creme brulee for starters, followed by the stick-to-your-ribs chocolate bread pudding, and a finale of milk chocolate (with creamy peanut butter) mousse. Lovely!
-
oh man, i’m so happy i work on the east side!!

BARF! Not to mention severe sugar tremors, and more overweight women on the streets of NYC….
-
stevenp, “more overweight women on the streets of NYC”? I actually think of the streets of NYC as filled with the opposite. I think quite a few of the lunchers in this area (particularly female) could use the 3-course lunch suggested.
-
i had the molten chocolate cake today, it sucked, everything else probably does too.
-
The chocolate bread pudding was absolutely amazing today. ‘Nough Said.
-
stop hating, my molten lava cake was delicious
-
Are they going to back at all this week ?
This is my last week working in midtown (changing offices to UES).On that note, any suggestions for lunching near 87th and 3rd ?
-
They told me they would be there all week. Chocolate bread pudding was remarkable. Goat cheese cheesecake was mediocre.
-
Oh, yes, let’s focus on the midtown women, because there’s a shortage of fat businessmen walking around there…
-
Just had the creme brulee…nicely burned and not disgusting by any means, but not very tasty. Nothing about it coerced me to take a second bite.
-
Am I the only one who believes this truck blows?
-
I don’t like to delete comments, and everybody should have their say- but readers should know that the two negative comments just above this comment (from Colin K & Sarah H), both come from the same IP address. Make of that what you will…
-
Oh, I see, not more than one person in an office can believe that the dessert truck blows. I understand.
“Make of that what you will…”
-
@ Sarah H – So, just so I get your story straight. You and your co-worker Colin K. decided to log on to Midtown Lunch, from the same IP address (or “office” if you will), at 10:30 at night, and bash the Dessert Truck- independently of each other- 3 minutes apart.
Feel free to shill or flame at your own risk. I won’t delete your comments, but it won’t go unnoticed. People can decide to believe whatever they want… I just want them to have all the information.
-
Would be a wounderful world had we all 9-5 occupations…true. In a 24 hr. city such as ours, some, work off-hours. We even sometimes, share similar discusssions (art, leisure, food entertainment etc…) as 9-5ers.
Zach, it is understood that you are heavily invested in your recommendations, but conspiracy theories aside, the truck is not one of your best recommendations.“People can decide to believe whatever they want… I just want them to have all the information.”
Admirable Zach.

@ Sarah – I never carry on conversations like this in the comments, but I’ll make this exception, and indulge you- because nothing bothers me more than dishonest commenters. So while I’d love to let this die, I wouldn’t want readers to think that my not responding gave your comments any validity.
I don’t doubt that you hate the Dessert Truck, but you are not Sarah Hellerman, and you don’t work at 10:30 at night in a cube next to Colin Keeter. Those two comments were 3 mins apart, both had fake email addresses and came from the same IP. One of the email addresses pointed to a Baptist Church in Washington. (Nice touch. Did you even look at what nsb.org was before you made it your email provider?)
I don’t moderate or delete comments, and have no problem with people who disagree with my opinion. This site is a community, and my opinion is no more or less important than any commenter who takes the time to post. Regular commenters know this, and will back me up.
What I do have a problem with is liars. And you are a liar. You weren’t at work last night, having a discussion with a co-worker about “art, leisure, food” and the Dessert Truck- followed by taking turns posting your individual thoughts on Midtown Lunch.
I commend your effort. You’ve never commented before, you made up two names and corresponding email addresses. Posted two negative comments, for whatever reason. You’ve been outed, please stop digging. Comment honestly in the future (or do a better job of hiding your deception), and you’ll never get called out again.

You want me to bite his, uhh, her, uh, uhm….their nuts off, Zach?

Thank you, Zach for demonstrating why posts are written anonimously. Your Ashcroftesque, Department of Homeland Security investigatory tactics aside, will your readers continue to find comfort posting on your site? Or will it perhaps give them pause. I apologize for having made you expend so much precious time seeking our identities.
Because you do not run a responsible blog, you haven’t the verification mechanism in place to properly vet posts. I would submit to you that upwards of 80 percent of your posts have similar email discrepancies. I am certain that you are aware of this, as you admit to having a penchant for investigating ip addresses of dissenting posters.
(BTW, your intel on my ip address is misguided and incorrect, you may wish to re examine your tracking methods.)“This site is a community, and my opinion is no more or less important than any commenter who takes the time to post.”
I suppose this satisfactorily explains why you spend so much time investigating ip addresses of your posters. Zach, are you certain you want to devulge your tracking methods(t.m.i.) to your audience.
Zach, quite the pleasure dialoging with you as well. Matters not what you nor I post. The good people will decide and I am okay with that. I simply hope that’s enough for you.
call it a day?
-
Sarah Hellerman(emphasis on the ‘hell’) IS Heather Mills-McCartney
-
Happily. But just to clarify, I have no “intel” on your IP address- I just noticed that both comments (3 minutes apart, with two different names) came from the same IP, and one of the fake email addresses you entered used the URL from a Baptist Church in WA. Good times!
I do find it curious that you accuse me of being “Ashcroftesque”, but then imply that it’s irresponsible to allow people to post comments without logging in and providing personal information. Luckily I don’t have to spend much time making sure comments are real or fake because the site has a great community, that manages to police itself, and only occasionally do I have to jump in and point out comments like yours. In fact, the comments are almost entirely unmoderated. But I don’t expect you to know that, because this is the first time you (or your “co-worker” Colin Keeter) have ever commented on the site. It doesn’t take the department of homeland security to figure out that you have a beef with the Dessert Truck, and chose this site as a forum for your anger. That explanation makes more sense than your claim of being two honest Midtown Lunch office workers, slaving away at 10:30pm, before taking a break, and making two seperate comments 3 minutes apart. Post whatever opinions you want in the comments. Just don’t post the same opinion twice, pretending to be two different people. That’s all I ask. (This site only has room for one commenter with multiple personality disorder, and the regular commenters know who that is.)
Oh- and if I was truly fascist, I would have just banned you from the get go, deleted your comments, and called it a day. I prefer transparency- something you clearly know nothing about.
-
..you…you….you mean the hamster isn’t real?
-
Sarah and her co-worker are really late night sex-shop workers, loosely affiliated with Chucky’s Blow-up Doll. There’s aversion to sweets is due to a traumatic event involving a can of whipped cream and a suppository.
-
I’d bite your nuts off to *TWITCH* prove I am real, McBagel, but I hear from the ML ladies that you lack a pair. Maybe I could bite something else off…..but no, that just wouldn’t be my style
-
Ive tracked down the Hamster; real name Raggot.
Apparently.
-
Well played Zach!
-
Had the chocolate bread pudding yesterday…very very bueno!!! A great addition to the lacking Midtown East.
-
so, sarah, why does the truck blow exactly? have you ever eaten anything from them? ’cause you don’t say either…
-
oh man! the one day I’m busy at work and I miss all this! My job blows! The dessert truck, not so much.
-
Love how “Colin Keeter” had NOTHING to say in this whole ordeal. LOL!
-
[...] What if the Treats Truck doesn’t park near you and you can’t get to the Dessert Truck? [...]
OOoooooo!!! I hope they stay in that locale, all of the Treats Truck locations are too far for me. Prepare for growing fat gut.
Thank you Dessert Truck.
