Don’t Miss Miss Softee’s Final Week Extravaganza

It’s Miss Softee’s last week parking in Midtown for the summer (and possibly forever if she finds something she likes doing more), and to celebrate she’s having a “special extravaganza” all week long.  Basically, every day this week she’ll be featuring almost every amazing special she’s ever served- all at the same time!  Stop by [...]

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Attempts Midtown Again… With Sad But Predictable Results

Remember when the Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Truck came to Midtown for one day last October? That didn’t last long. It took them almost a year to try again… but the result ended up being the same. I guess the Mister Softee trucks haven’t completely left for the season yet. *Sigh*  Just [...]

Only 3 Weeks Left to Enjoy Miss Softee

Miss Softee, who has gotten lots of attention from the Midtown Lunch’ing faithful in recent weeks, is “retiring” from the soft serve game in 3 weeks.  She’s leaving the game at the end of September to do some traveling, so if you want to get any last minute cones (or flirting) in, now is the [...]

Fancy Fast Food Makes Mousse Out of Miss Softee

Erik from the website Fancy Fast Food visited the Miss Softee truck on Wednesday to fancify some soft serve, and the whole thing was caught on video.  I don’t know if turning ice cream into chocolate mousse is as impressive as turning McNuggets into Chicken Confit… but the video is still awesome to watch.  You [...]

Miss Softee Baked Today’s Special Herself

It looks like Miss Softee, the Queen Frostine Ice Cream Truck driver, was inspired by her ice cream sandwich mash up with the Treats Truck last week.  Yesterday was her day off, and she spent it baking.  The result?  Two specials today, featuring homemade goodies.  First, a $6 sundae with a WARM brownie, vanilla ice [...]

Treats Truck and Miss Softee Team Up to Make Ultimate Ice Cream Sandwich

Ask and ye shall receive!!! Miss Softee (who we profiled on Tuesday, from the Queen Frostine crew) has teamed up with the Treats Truck to create an ice cream sandwich! A squirt of soft serve, sandwiched between two (delicious) Treats Truck chocolate chip cookies.  Amazing… don’t let the weather discourage you from this one.  I [...]

Mister Softee + Treats Truck Could = Delicious Ice Cream Sandwich

Saw this message on twitter from Miss Softee to the Treats Truck yesterday and it gave me a great idea! Two chocolate chip cookies from the treats truck, plus a squirt of soft serve from Miss Softee’s ice cream truck would make quite the awesome ice cream sandwich- don’t you think? Ideally this would be [...]

Meet Queen Frostine: The Ladies of Mister Softee

I think Mister Softee has gotten a bad rep on Midtown Lunch.  Sure some of them screw over their customers, get into fights, try to intimidate mobile bakeries, and yes, even sell cocaine.  But they’re not all bad!  Take the ladies of Queen Frostine, a new collective of female ice cream truck drivers who have [...]

At Lunch Now: $1 Monday Ice Cream Alert

I’ve only heard about this magical truck, but had never seen it until this afternoon… the “Time Warner Cable” $1 ice cream truck is parked on 40th btw. 5+6th right now selling $1 ice cream cones (all proceeds benefit charity.) It’s Mr. Softee style cones (chocolate, vanilla, or swirl), with your choice of chocolate or [...]

Miss Softee

We all know about Mister Softee, but did you know there is a “Miss Softee” who sells ice cream in Midtown?  She normally parks on 40th & 5th from about 1pm until 6:30pm and has”daily cone specials”. If you’d like to stalk follow her, you can on Twitter (natch.)
