The freshly baked waffles at Wafels & Dinges are unbeatable! I think they are the only one making stuff fresh in the truck, and that deserves some recognition…uh?

Crumbs tastes like preservatives. I love the dot cookies on the Treats Truck. Does the Desserts truck park anywhere near midtown??

Yup, I get it. But you still mentioned how you can buy great cookies at several places, and I was pointing out how it is pretty darned easy (and a WHOLE lot cheaper) to bake them, and have lots of them! ($1-2 per cookie is insane–I can add a lot of tasty embellishments to a whole batch for a small fraction of that and have more fun making them in the process). Unlike many ML options (streetmeat, etc.), stuff like cookies and sandwiches keep pretty well and can be made at home with just a bit of forethought. Seems to be a fair option here, now that ML coverage includes stuff like “make your own sandwich”!

Moze – that is what I was saying, the DESSERT TRUCK rather than the Treats Truck makes items not easily made at home.

Niko, You do know how easy it is to *bake* great cookies yourself, right? A few minutes in the kitchen and, voila!, treats to share with the whole office. (If you like your coworkers, that is…)

Treats Truck is great for sure and they get extra points for being so unflappably nice but the Dessert Truck sells items the average person can’t easily make at home or get without dropping $100 a head at Le Cirque. I can buy great cookies at a few places in midtown but where else can I buy a dark chocolate bomb mousse?
