"NYC Love Street Coffee" Truck Appears In Carroll Gardens

Are food trucks going to become a more common sight on Smith Street?  

In early September, a Gyro truck first appeared in front of the Rite-Aid at the corner of President Street.  It has been parked there on most evenings ever since.  

Just this week-end, the orange "NYC Loves Street Coffee" truck showed up in front of Carroll Park. Usually, the mobile coffee shop can be found around downtown Manhattan. 

The coffee did not seem to be a bargain, and only got so-so reviews on Yelp.

Has anyone seen the truck in the neighborhood before?  How does the coffee compare to some of our local places?

Lone Food Truck Setting Up Business On Smith Street's Restaurant Row?

Well, hello!!!!

The food truck selling Gyros and beef stew in front of Rite Aid on Smith Street, at the corner of President Street, was certainly an unusual sight. Though Smith Street, with its many eateries, has earned the name "Restaurant Row", this is the first time that I have seen a food truck setting up business on the strip.

The location certainly could not have been better. Commuters, heading back from Manhattan, were streaming out from the F train station at the corner.

With restaurants already having more difficulties during these financially leaner times, I wonder if Smith Street restaurateurs will welcome such competition.

Has anyone seen or eaten at this truck before? How is the food?
