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.
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.
Everyone should get their food from a can and their ice cream from Mr. Softee, or they are elitists!
Artisanal = “tastes like homemade”?

MR. SOFTEE RULES!! ARTIST-ANAL (GET IT?) ICE CREAM IS FOR TREND-SUCKING HIPSTERS.
Ask Brenda to come to the Flea!!
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…
Ask them to come to the Flea!
rarified experiences, i.e., ice cream that only the rich elitists can afford to experience.
amen, bring on the mr. softee, yum yum.
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.
