Eddie’s Pizza Truck Hits The Streets Today (With Free Pizza)

Eddies Pizza Truck
Just a friendly reminder… today’s the day Eddie’s Pizza Truck is finally ready to serve pizza to the hungry masses! I have been highly anticipating this truck for the past few months, maybe it’s my Long Island pride coming through, so I couldn’t wait for the first day of lunch to try their pie. Instead I braved the cold, rain, and street puddles last night to stop by their opening party in Union Square.

Free Ben & Jerry’s Alert (From a Truck?)

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of New York Super Fudge Chunk, Ben & Jerry’s is launching an ice cream truck that will spend the next six weeks handing out free ice cream all over New York.  According to their website the truck will launch on Monday, and if Grub Street is to be believed it will be in front of Moma (although they have the launch date listed as the 28th.)  The truck will also be doing “office invasions” and is taking requests via their twitter feed.  Freeloaders, prepare to engage.
