A couple of inspection-related delays later and Alan Harding reports that he’s finally ready to open his much-anticipated food truck in the yard of the former auto shop now known as Hot Bird at the corner of Atlantic and Clinton Avenues in Clinton Hill. The menu (which is listed in full on the jump) includes such items as soft tacos and falafel dogs. This may not be the last stationary food truck we see, given the attractive economics: “I only have to pay rent and electric here,” Harding told The Daily News. “It’s kind of like the only way left in New York to open a restaurant for cheap.”

  2. eh. Everyone who posts on this blog probably has a dislike for someone else who posts. I know I do.

    As least Rob introduces a little levity into the conversation and make good points sometimes. Can’t say that about everyone who make their opinion known here.

  3. Rob, one could also say it’s a mockery to have 2 degrees and be spending your time taking your employer’s checks to the bank and placing orders at Staples. However, I happen to believe that one’s choices are dictated by circumstances beyond one’s control, economic necessity, or following one’s dream to do what they want in life. You are doing what you want to do for your own reasons. Let someone else have the freedom to do the same.

    And there’s nothing wrong with being a “glorified lunch lady” either. It’s an honest job.

  5. “wait dave, so im not allowed to comment on things i dont like about nyc now!? ”

    The problem is ALL you do is comment on things you don’t like. And you don’t like ANYTHING.

    And there’s nothing wrong with being a “glorified lunch lady” either. It’s an honest job.
