Coolhaus’ Rain Date For Free Ice Cream Sandwiches Is Today!: There was a fair amount of excitement followed by a big let down last week when the Coolhaus truck planned to give away free ice cream sandwiches through a promo with the W Hotels, but ended up canceling due to the rain that would not stop. They're using today as a make up, and you can get the freebies from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the area of Broadway and Wall St. at Maiden Lane & Water St. They're going to tweet the exact location, and we'll try to post it here, so leave room at lunch for a late day treat.

As noted on the Midtown site, there’s something of a trend right now with trucks serving Japanese food. Hibachi Heaven debuted last Thursday in the Financial District and this Friday there’s a truck called Okadaman hitting the streets with okanamiyaki and other specialties more commonly found at sake watering holes in the East Village. But this review’s about Hibachi Heaven which serves the protein + vegetables + rice + sauce combo familiar to anyone who’s eaten at a street meat cart. This wasn’t street meat, but it wasn’t exactly Japanese either.

Last week we told you that signs had gone up on the new Yushi location on Pearl St. (btw. Maiden & Cedar). Since then they’ve taken the paper down from the windows and everything looks ready to go inside, which is good because they’re opening on Monday. This joins the location in the World Financial Center food court and one in Midtown, and furthers the creep of chain places from Maiden Lane.
Yushi, Pearl St. (btw. Maiden Lane & Cedar), 4 World Financial Center, www.yushi.com

The Hibachi Heaven truck finally debuted in the Financial District (and the streets of NYC) yesterday after some hiccups delayed the launch from Tuesday. I wandered down early to avoid any crazy lines, and happened to get there a few minutes before they opened making me the second person to order food. My take on it will be coming on Monday, but I thought since a couple of you weighed in after eating there that I’d do a special Friday crowd-sourced review since they’ll be returning to the corner of Water & Broad Old Slip today and every Tuesday and Friday (at Hudson & King on Thursdays). The good, the bad, the lack of rice straight ahead.
