Default Van Leeuwen Gourmet Ice Cream Truck

From New York City Daily Photo



Quote:
I noticed this Van Leeuwen Artisanal Ice Cream truck parked outside Trader Joe's on 14th Street between Lafayette and 3rd Avenue last weekend. There was a long queue for the ice cream and the flavors sounded interesting. Even the sign board was arty and distinctive.

I didn't get a chance to try the ice cream here because I was on my way to dinner and didn't want to ruin my appetite. But I got to say, the ginger and giandujia flavors sound foreign to me.

So what is the oddest flavored ice cream you have eaten?
i happened to see this ice cream truck in Soho this past weekend and there was a good line for the ice cream a hot sunday afternoon. i didnt try the ice cream because of the long but def next time!

According to Eater

Quote:
"Perhaps there aren't enough parking space for them all to co-exist! Yesterday I was sampling the goods from gourmet ice cream truck, parked over by Trader Joe's in Union Square. At around 4pm, Waffles and Dinges comes by to park their truck, which is when and where they normally set up shop. Ice cream truck seemed unaware of this and an argument ensued. Eventually, Ice Cream Truck got the boot."
sounds like there is a turf war going on between some of the ice cream truck in manhattan ... hehe think its somewhat amusing

maybe the ice cream truck vendors will start a street food fight by throwing ice cream cones at each other .... how sweet would that be a nice hot day!
