Streetlevel: Artisanal Ice Cream Truck Stops in Dumbo
If you're in Dumbo right now, time to wolf down that sandwich you're in the middle of and hightail over to Main Street where the Van Leeuwen artisanal ice cream truck (heretofore found in Soho, among other Manhattan places) has graced Brooklyn with its presence. Hurry though: The truck arrived at noon and will only be there until one o'clock! The truck is parked in front of One Main Street.

to the poster over on the real world blog who is complaining about all the elitism on this blog > here's your answer why! brownstoner thinks artisanal ice cream trucks are where it's at.

Actually, it's just this sort of enthusiasm for rarefied experiences that will keep Brooklyn booming. Bring on the ice cream posts.

1:25 perhaps you could use some ice cream yourself.
Where else in the world will you find artisanal ice cream trucks but NY??? If that's elitism then so be it.
This particular thread is not about real estate and that's OK.

rarified experiences, i.e., ice cream that only the rich elitists can afford to experience.

We just made our own artisanal ice cream with fresh Jersey peaches in our 20-year-old motorized ice cream maker. Snarf, nom nom nom. Price of ingredients: about $5 (including table salt and ice). Making enough for 15 ice cream cones: priceless! Now maybe I should git me a truck and sell it to them hipster fellas...

Everyone should get their food from a can and their ice cream from Mr. Softee, or they are elitists!

Tried this last fall, I think I saw the van in Soho around Mercer... It was okay, but overpriced. For that price and with all the hoopla, I would expect it to be more tasty. But sorry, guys, I am an ice-cream snob! I think Blue Marble is better.
