You wouldn't know it by the 20 degree temperature drop in NYC between yesterday and today, but summer is coming to the city.
And how, you may ask, do I know?
These babies, parked on every corner.
Now, I haven't really embraced the food truck phenomenon when it comes to actual meals, but I love a good ice cream truck, and there is none better than Mr. Softee.
And nothing says summer in the city like chocolate ice cream and rainbow sprinkles in a cake cone, handed to me through the glass window of a truck parked on 51st and 6th while the traffic flies by.
I just froze my BUTT off at a baseball game. I need it warmer for ice cream! Still, I'm thinking I need to meet your for lunch one of these days!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a cone from Mr. Softee in forever. Chocolate writh rainbow sprinkles was always my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI'll take any sign of summer I can get. And Mr. Softee sounds yum! In our neighborhood, summer begins when Mario, the Italian Ice master, opens his little pop-up stand. No matter the weather, on May 1 we line up with the neighbors for the first taste since he closed for the season last Sept 1. Fun times!
