Food Truck Heaven

Few places on Earth have as abundant a food truck presence and followership as New York City. Now, for those out-of-towners, I'm not talking about a random shish kabob and rice street cart. These are legitimate, well-established and delicious food establishments that just happen to be on wheels! While there are dozens and dozens to try (and I surely haven't tasted them all), I have began to compile a list of my favorites:

Street Sweets (http://www.streetsweetsny.com/) - You can spot this turquoise truck a mile away and its appearance perfectly matches the goodies it doles out. While they're typically near the large office buildings in midtown, on lucky Thursday, they head downtown to Houston & King from 3-5PM. My favorite goodies are their whoopie pies (pumpkin in the fall is perfection).

Rickshaw Dumplings (http://www.rickshawdumplings.com/plings.com/) - Something you can actually write-off as a real lunch! Rickshaw Dumplings is a brick and mortar establishment that has gone mobile. I recommend the Chicken and Thai Basil dumplings or the Vegetarian Edamame dumplings with the Asian Green Salad.

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Truck (http://www.vanleeuwenicecream.com/) - These aren't your ordinary ice cream flavors. They have such inviting flavors as Ginger and Hazelnut, perfect even when the weather gets chillier. I've seen their light yellow trucks all over the city, but you can follow them on Twitter if you really want to pin down their location.

My next food trucks to seek out? Go Burger, El Diablo Tacos, Schnitzel Truck and Waffles & Dinges. All can be followed on Twitter to get up to the minute info on locations and daily specials.
