We got trucks and trucks and trucks

Recently i've been noticing a load of new food trucks springing up around the city.  I lot of these trucks are complete rip offs so I thought I'd compile a little list of some of the best trucks and others to avoid.

The Mud Truck:  Not being a coffee drinker i'm going on the word of my old lady on this truck.  The Mud trucks drive around the East and West village, and occasionally venture into Coney Island for some reason.  Seeing the Mud truck's orange paint job driving down the street is enough to make any hipster jump out of his chucks.  I dunno what makes the coffee that this truck hands out so good (the website calls it mystery beans), but my mom goes crazy for it, and the prices are decent.  

Rickshaw Dumpling Truck:  These trucks are all over the place and they serve dumplings full of wet shit.  There is a Rickshaw in my neighborhood, and after the douche bag in the truck serves you your dumplings you bite into some wet greasy meat and wonder where your six bucks went.  

Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream:  This Mr softy alternative should appeal to hippies who worry about biodegradable cups and organic ingredients.  For people like me who worry mainly about taste this truck doesn't disappoint either.  The truck has limited flavor options, but where you get the quality is in the ingredients.  Besides being eco-friendly all that organic milk and cream gives the ice cream a freshness that depending on how much you like ice cream, will justify the hefty price.  I've sighted these trucks in SoHo, Park Slope and the West Village.  

PizzaMoto:  I've never eaten at one of these but i'm seriously considering tracking one of these red trucks down after I learned that the franchise is run by a former a Franny's chef.  PizzaMoto isn't really a truck, more like a mobile kitchen.  The truck part hauls a boat trailer with a real brick oven mounted on the back, serving hot out of the oven pizza to brooklynites in Dumbo and Fort Greene.   

Kogi Korean BBQ To Go:  These trucks have only made infrequent appearances in NYC from LA, but a permanent NY operation is in the works.  Kogi trucks serve everything Korean BBQ, including short ribs, pork bellies, and spicy chicken.  Maybe its because I love Korean food but this is my favorite food truck.  Each dish is served taco style in a wrap, with a decent amount of meat and veggies inside, all at a reasonable price.  Kogi trucks have appeared only at festivals and special events in NYC but keep a look out for their permanent fleet in the future.
