Dessert Truck Makes Its Midtown Debut Today!

The Dessert Truck is beginning its daytime operations today, and will attempt to find a spot on Park Ave. between 51+53rd streets from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Treats Truck is awesome, and Wafels & Dinges are nice, but the Dessert Truck is some serious shit. We’re talking chocolate bread pudding, molten chocolate cake, vanilla creme brulee, goat cheese cheesecake and more. Restaurant quality desserts, out of truck, and everything is $5.
As you know, finding a permanent spot is difficult, so I’ll keep you up to date on their progress. Welcome to the neighborhood boys! To read more about the Dessert Truck, check out this post on Serious Eats: New York.
UPDATE: As of 11:07 a.m. the truck has found a space on Park between 51+52nd.

are those…….are they…..those things on *TWITCH* that dessert……might they be……..nuts? If so, I will be happy to bite your nuts off
-
Do I have to wait until 11:30!
-
Here you go, the three-course midtown lunch: the (relatively) light and lucious creme brulee for starters, followed by the stick-to-your-ribs chocolate bread pudding, and a finale of milk chocolate (with creamy peanut butter) mousse. Lovely!

BARF! Not to mention severe sugar tremors, and more overweight women on the streets of NYC….
-
stevenp, “more overweight women on the streets of NYC”? I actually think of the streets of NYC as filled with the opposite. I think quite a few of the lunchers in this area (particularly female) could use the 3-course lunch suggested.

i had the molten chocolate cake today, it sucked, everything else probably does too.
-
The chocolate bread pudding was absolutely amazing today. ‘Nough Said.
-
stop hating, my molten lava cake was delicious
-
Are they going to back at all this week ?
This is my last week working in midtown (changing offices to UES).On that note, any suggestions for lunching near 87th and 3rd ?
-
They told me they would be there all week. Chocolate bread pudding was remarkable. Goat cheese cheesecake was mediocre.
-
Oh, yes, let’s focus on the midtown women, because there’s a shortage of fat businessmen walking around there…
-
Just had the creme brulee…nicely burned and not disgusting by any means, but not very tasty. Nothing about it coerced me to take a second bite.
-
Am I the only one who believes this truck blows?
-
Oh, I see, not more than one person in an office can believe that the dessert truck blows. I understand.
“Make of that what you will…”
-
Would be a wounderful world had we all 9-5 occupations…true. In a 24 hr. city such as ours, some, work off-hours. We even sometimes, share similar discusssions (art, leisure, food entertainment etc…) as 9-5ers.
Zach, it is understood that you are heavily invested in your recommendations, but conspiracy theories aside, the truck is not one of your best recommendations.“People can decide to believe whatever they want… I just want them to have all the information.”
Admirable Zach.
OOoooooo!!! I hope they stay in that locale, all of the Treats Truck locations are too far for me. Prepare for growing fat gut.
Thank you Dessert Truck.
