Mayor’s Fund Enlists Food Trucks to Feed Hard Hit Areas of NYC
We already reported on the fact that some of our favorite food trucks are noticeably absent from Midtown because they are donating time and food to help the hurricane relief efforts. After support from Jet Blue and individual donations, the program is being continued with the help from none other than the Mayor’s Office. The New York Food Truck Association, which includes Schnitzel & Things, Taim, and Souvlaki GR as members, is being sponsored by the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City. This is really wonderful news for those victims of Hurricane Sandy and let’s hope this will also be good news for the city’s thoughts about the food trucks when they get back to serving the streets. Get more info and donate to the cause yourself on the NYFTA’s website>>

The thumping you hear off in the distance is Gale Brewer slamming her head against a wall.

Schnitzels and Things still has a truck?
its nice to see the political part of the city is seeing these vendors as assets and not hindrances at this time of recovery. here’s to hoping they keep that point of view during better times as well!
