I just ran into Punky in traffic on 55th and Lex, 55th and Park, 55th and Mad, 55th and 5th… Yeah traffic was that bad that I beat punky to 55th and 6th after walking back to work from the buffet at Kanaat Turkish Restaurant.

Good luck today Punky! Be careful of the other 5 halal trucks on the block!

UPDATE!!!!
My new official lunch spot is 55th and 6th 12-9 pm Mon-Fri! I kinda sound like a shady shadester from this article but I was in the middle of singelhandedly fixing my vanilla pump and serving a huge line while I was being interviewed! I love my customers more than chocolate dip if thats possible and my primary goal is to serve up sunshine, color and cream with a teensy dollop of whipped sass on the side!

vdubjv — we work off real mister softee trucks with the real deal ice cream. specials are created by each driver at their whim.

and, thanks for the love, hightemp! while I do have one special a day, ya’ll can always ask whatever else I’m packing if there’s a recent special you missed.

Can Grandma Nutt and Princess Lolly be far behind?

I think it’s awesome that you’re covering this – I had no idea there were even female ice cream vendors/truck drivers to begin with – but it’s great to see people who actually care about their customers too. Brava to these ladies :)

Now if only there were hot female halal vendors in Midtown…and serving it in a bikini? I’d have to eat Street Meats at least 2-3 times a week.

Where is the ice cream sourced? Is it the stuff in a box that Mr Softee sells?

I stopped by Miss_Softee last night…She made me a Cappuccino cone even though yesterdays special was Creamsicle Shakes. YUM

I’m always up for friendly Mr./Ms./Mrs./Mz. Softee people as opposed to the usual rude guys who charge whatever they feel like at that particular moment and not until you’ve taken the first melty lick.

I also think BigGayIceCream is (or perhaps was?) somehow associated with these lovely ladies
