I know how expensive the rent is for my West Village apartment, but can you imagine the rent for a retail/restaurant space? Not to mention all the furnishings, decorations, and equipment needed to run the business. With New Yorkers always on the move, why not make a business that is also on the move...literally. That's when smart people elaborate on the idea of the Halal cart or ice cream truck and put a bakery on wheels....the Treats Truck (and Dessert Truck). The Treats Truck is located on 38th and 5th Ave on Tuesdays and Thursdays (1-5PM), and is an easy 4 block walk from my office. They serve delicious baked goods, most notably the Oatmeal Jammy and Cran Almond Crispy, as well as cookie sandwhiches with creamy centers, 4 types of brownies, and much more. They are focused on simple baked goods rather than an elaborate dessert.
Which now brings me to the Dessert Truck, who sells each dessert for a measly $5...creme brulee, chocolate molten cake, chocolate bread pudding, and much much more. These are fast, yet delectable treats that beat out many of the desserts I've had at proper restaurants. They are currently located at 51st and Park Ave during the day until 5PM then move over to St. Marks Place and 3rd Ave during the evenings until about midnight Monday-Friday.
In the words of Wayne and Garth, "Shwiinng Shwiinng Shwiinng!" for mobile treats.
