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.”

rob, haven’t you noticed everyone getting a little (or very) sick of you? its becoming a predictable and annoying pattern:
1. make incendiary comment
2. get shouted down by other commenters
3. beging a series of half assed backpedalling, excuses or blame everything(one) except yourself and your shitty attitude towards the world.
PLUSA of the century goes to Rob.
wait dave, so im not allowed to comment on things i dont like about nyc now!?
*rob*
rob, if you don’t like them then just don’t patronize them. You don’t drive a car so it doesn’t have an effect on your ability to park.
This should settle the issue of whether to have a brownstoner gathering here…..ahem Cgar.
lol jimmylegs, okay maybe this isnt the perfect example, but proliferation of these kinds of overpriced and overhyped shyte on wheels all over the place does exist.
*rob*
i’m sure alan harding’s parents are just SICK over his newest money-printing venture.
oh whatever. excuuuuuuse me for finding gentrified food trucks obnoxious and lame.
*rob*
If it weren’t going to be so damn hot tomorrow I would be there.
I LOVE the 1950s style truck.
