The trucks will be serving food from 3pm-9pm and this week's line-up includes Chopping Block, ME Casa, and The Incrediballs. The rotation of trucks will change each week so there will be a lot of variety and if you're like me and can't get to the trucks during the weekdays, this is a great opportunity to have them all in one place.
Running a food truck is a notoriously difficult business. The hours are long and there are countless logistical issues, not the least of which is parking and finding ways to deal with the often outdated or unclear city regulations. However, an ordinance was recently passed in Jersey City allowing food trucks to park on private lots (with permission) and serve food which has created this opportunity for local trucks. It's an especially welcome development for those of us who miss the trucks being able to park on Grove Street.
While it will start small for the time being, the trucks are hoping to expand the Food Truck Rally to include other vendors and small businesses, local artists, and to make it family-friendly with activities for kids so that it will serve the community at large.
Stop by Saturday to show your support and enjoy some delicious food from these great trucks!

ReplyDeleteI suggest everyone buy food from a truck then eat it in front of two boots or the bistro, two businesses who want all trucks and market vendors gone .
