With all the drama between food trucks and cops, local restaurants, and cranky old women, it looks like the trucks have finally found a safe haven. The city's first-ever privately owned food truck court is set to open in Long Island City in about two weeks, and at least a half a dozen food trucks are preparing to park it there.
The Rickshaw Dumpling truck, the recently displaced Treats Truck, Coolhaus, The Milk Truck, Cupcake Stop, Eddie's Pizza, Frites 'N Meats and the Kimchi Taco Truck will be setting up shop in a lot at 43-29 Crescent St. The vice president of Rockrose Development Corp, which owns the lot, said the company got in touch with the New York City Food Truck Association about creating the court because "we love food trucks, we love Long Island City and we wanted to provide more food options."
For now, 5,000 of the lot's 11,000 feet are being given over to the trucks, though that number could increase if the court proves popular. Food truck courts have been popping up across the city recently—in some unexpected places, and a spokesperson for the Food Truck Association said that "we’d like to hear from New Yorkers where else they’d like food-truck-courts to be."
