Dessert Truck is Back… But No Longer Staying in One Place

It appears as if the Dessert Truck has returned from their “winter break” but with one major change… they will no longer be in the same space every day. According to their website they “have new locations and hours” which will get posted to the site when they park wherever it is they are going to be. According to their website they still plan on being out Monday through Friday from Noon to 3pm, and on Wednesday it looks like they were in Midtown from Noon to 3pm at Lexington & 55th, but there is no mention of where they were yesterday and according to Blondie and Brownie returned to the same spot on Thursday.

I have to say this is kind of a bummer… one of the things I loved about the Dessert Truck is you always knew where to find them (unlike Rickshaw and the Wafels & Dinges Truck). And considering how much time they spent building up their spot on 52nd and Park, it’s kind of surprising they would give that up. That being said, it doesn’t change how kickass their desserts are… and if I have to go to different spots to score them, I’ll do what has to be done. Hopefully they’ll fire up their dormant twitter account to make it a little easier for us…

  • They were on 55th and Lex yesterday.

  • MAYBE THIS MEANS THEY WILL TAKE ONE DAY A WEEK TO COME TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA OMG I JUST GOT SO EXCITED.

  • I have to say that roving trucks are very annoying. It gets the food out to a potentially larger audience, but doesn’t help build a repeat following.

    I knew that there was a rickshaw dumpling truck, but only had the chance to try it recently when I happened to walk past it. They told me to take note of their parking schedule.

    I don’t want to have to carry around a calendar/day planner/check a website so that I can remember when a truck is going to be parked in a particular spot when I have the urge for their food.

    Pick a spot and integrate into the local community. If you have good food, you will build up a following and people will travel for your food.

  • The reason they changed locations is because they found out that where they were previously (52nd and Lex) was not exactly… legal. So now they have locations where they are actually allowed to park.

  • I think the Treats Truck is the best at roving. Kim updates the phone message every day with the location so for those of us without iPhones or Blackberries, it’s easy to find her location by just calling the number.
