Treats Truck



Apparently, this blog has a bit of a reputation for being "dark." Well, these are dark days in New York City. However, now and then, there is a ray of light. Yesterday that ray of light came in the shape of the Treats Truck. Parked on 6th Ave between 13th and 14th, the Treats Truck, a.k.a. "Sugar," lured me over with its pronouncement of "Treats are good!" and I could not resist tasting a few samples offered by treat lady Kim Ima. I recommend the caramel creme sandwiches.

What I like about the Treats Truck is that it's not a major chain store, it's a local small business, and it feels a bit like a cousin of the New York pushcart tradition. As Ima told me, "People are tired of seeing nothing but chains everywhere." Amen to that--and keep on truckin. Find the Treats Truck today.

Thanks for the tip--I'll consult their schedule next time I'm out and about. And congrats on the "Comment of the Moment" tag from the Times re: the influence of the blogs. I've added my own in rebuttal to commenter #3 that hopefully will go up soon.
