I am a Florida girl, born and raised, so as soon as NYC waves goodbye to winter I am ready to throw on my flip-flops and head to Central Park!
If you are anything like me then you are probably in Central Park every weekend over the summer throwing a football with friends and soaking up the sun. One of the greatest changes to Central Park this summer is the conversion of Tavern on the Green into a visitor center and food truck stop.
Who doesn't love food trucks?! The Tavern on the Green garden has been transformed into a clean and comfortable picnic area filled with tables, umbrellas, chairs...and clean restrooms (and we all know how important that is)!!! On any given day there are 3-4 food trucks parked around the picnic area and whether you want a sweet treat, healthy meal, or adult beverage there is a food truck for you!
To cool off on a hot summer day be sure to check out Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. Every day they serve up a selection of artisan ice creams, homemade pastries, and coffees, but, make sure to get there early because their most popular ice cream flavors will sell out!
If you are looking for farm fresh salads, soups, and sandwiches with a wide selection of vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options then Ladle of Love is the place to go. When I stopped in I was having a splurge day and the Chicken BLT on Ciabatta was like a celebration of flavor in my mouth! The ciabatta was soft and chewy and was the perfect balance with the tender chicken and salty bacon. A creamy spicy paprika aioli tied the sandwich together. PLUS, it was only $6.50!!! HOLY BARGAIN!
The bar is open... at Pera Turkish Tacos that is! For the first time in NYC a food truck has been given permission to sell beer, wine and cocktails and you can find that truck in Central Park. This food truck version of the well-known midtown restaurant Pera offers a menu of tacos, sides, and desserts with a Mediterranean twist.
These foods trucks may be the perfect place for we humans to find lunch in the park but don't fret about your pooch's happiness because Bocce's Bakery Biscuit Bike has got your favorite pup covered. Their daily selection of all-natural and organic dog biscuits are designed with your furry friends in mind.
Bocce's Bakery Biscuit Bike is always on the move so be sure to follow them on facebook or twitter to see where they are parked today!
