Earlier this week we brought you the news that Street Sweets is partnering a number of businesses and bringing free treats to the streets on three different trucks. Yesterday I caught up with Truck #3 (aka the Scharffen Berger Chocolate Adventure wrapped truck) and I have to say, the free chocolate cupcake alone makes it worth checking out.

Using food trucks as moving billboards is not our favorite thing in the world… unless there’s free food involved! (What’s that about kicking a gift horse?) Plus if a little corporate money is what it takes to keep our favorite food trucks in business, I suppose it’s a net positive. This week Street Sweets is all over the place with 3 different trucks, giving away a ton of free stuff. On Truck #1 (the original truck) they’ve teamed up with Capital One from October 19th through October 23rd to raise money for the NYC Food Bank. Buy any item, get your choice of several of their signature sweets for free. Truck #2, a partnership with Seamless Web through Sunday October 24th, will be giving out fortune cookies that have a code in it that can win you great prizes like ipads and stuff. And finally on Wednesday and Thursday Truck #3, a partnership with Scharffen Berger & Food Network Magazine, will be giving away thousands of free cupcakes at locations all over Midtown.
Got all that? A schedule of Midtown locations for all the trucks, broken down by day, is after the jump.

Street Sweets introduced their new expanded menu yesterday and added a bunch of items, like gelato sandwiches and lunchtime sandwiches. Since I’m an ice cream sandwich fiend, I decided to brave the rush hour crowd and ventured west from Midtown East after work to snag a gelato sandwich and to check out their new offerings.
Check them out after the jump…

In celebration of Mothers Day this Sunday (you got your mom a present, right!) the Street Sweets Truck will be giving away 1,000 cupcakes on Friday specifically to Moms. After starting their day in Mommy-central Park Slope (7th and Carroll from 9-11am), they plan on hitting Midtown from Noon to 3pm, parking on 50th Street and 6th Avenue (before finishing up on 7th & B’way from 3:30 to 6:30pm.) No word on whether you actually need a child present in order to get your cupcake on- but we all know I will totally borrow a child for some free cupcakes. Freeloading moms engage!

Man, the Street Sweets Truck just can’t catch a break. They burst onto the scene back in June, and immediately became embroiled in a turf battle with two restaurants on 55th Street that ended with the fire department being called. In their next spot, in front of MoMa, they were surrounded by angry hot dog carts. They’ve finally settled into a solid spot on 50th btw. 6+7th and now they’re being forced to change their name! They’re not saying exactly why they have to change their name, but i’m guessing it has something to do with this.
Anyway, the good news is they’re holding a naming contest for their fans- and the winner will get a $500 American Express Gift Card, and a $100 gift certificate to the truck. The email from Street Sweets, with all the details, is after the jump…

If I see one more thing about turkey, or stuffing, or leftovers I’m going to barf… but there’s always room for pumpkin bread! VendrTV hit up the Street Sweets Truck last week for their Thanksgiving episode and sampled the macarella, the pumpkin whoopie pies, and a pumpkin loaf. I don’t know what I enjoyed more, seeing Samira rib host Dan Delaney while they made pumpkin bread or her husband Grant saying “Christian Louboutin” (?) with a straight face. (Smile Grant! I know you can do it…)
Check out the video after the jump…
