Dessert Truck delight

Imagine my delight when it was announced a few months ago that the Dessert Truck would be taking up residence on weekdays a few blocks from my office.  I had never sampled the dessert truck fare as I am not typically wandering around the LES late at night looking for dessert.  My first two dessert truck treats – Peanut Butter and Milk-Chocolate Mousse Parfait and Chocolate Bread Pudding – were good not great. They were great relative to costing $5 and being dispensed street side from a truck, but not relative to my gourmet dessert standards.  I suspect that I was not enamored with the first two desserts because they were milk-chocolate based and I am a dark chocolate kind of girl. My relationship with the Dessert Truck took a sharp turn for the better yesterday when I stopped by on a whim and tried their new special – NY Cheesecake with Graham Cracker Crumble and Caramel.  Wow, wow, wow – the NY Cheesecake was one heck of a good dessert.  I hope the special sticks around for a while.  In more exciting food truck news, on my walk back to the office from the Dessert Truck outing, the Rickshaw Dumpling truck was parked a block from my office on 53^rd and Lex.  I had eaten lunch already, but the driver assured me that they are going to try to park in the ‘hood once a week.  Life is good.
