ORIENTATION 2011: Top 5 Food Trucks Near 116th for a Snack or Meal on the Go

1. Sweetery, www.streetsweetsny.com
Formerly known as Street Sweets, this truck serves up the sweetest desserts on four wheels. Its mobile menu features cookies, muffins, cakes, and ice cream sandwiches—as well as basic lunchtime fare like quiches, croissants, and soups. Be sure to try their signature dessert item: whoopie pies, $2 apiece.

2. Korilla BBQ, www.korillabbq.com
Parking under the bridge to IAB on weeknights, Korilla is perhaps the most delicious Columbia-friendly food truck. Its build-your-own menu offers tasty Korean toppings, like kimchi, served up in generous portions. The bulgogi (black angus ribeye steak) burrito with sticky rice, spicy kimchi, and the famous Korilla sauce is highly recommended. It’s a steal at $7.

3. Wafels & Dinges, www.wafelsanddinges.com
Waffles are great anytime of day, and students can thank Wafels & Dinges for making this delicious treat available street side. The two options are the light and crispy Brussels Wafel and the soft and chewy Liège Wafel (both $5). A must-try topping is their special spekuloos spread (tastes like a combination of nutella and peanut butter).

4. Frites ‘N’ Meats, www.fritesnmeats.com
With buns from Balthazar bakery and cheese from the famous Murray’s cheese shop, Frites ‘N’ Meats uses only the best ingredients in their gourmet-quality burgers. For juicy and tender meat, order the grass-fed angus burger ($5.50). Compliment the burger with one (or two) of the truck’s deluxe toppings: garlicky guacamole, applewood smoked bacon, and oven roasted tomato jazzy sauce. Definitely go for the side of double fried Belgian style frites—they’re perfectly thin and crispy and taste great with the aioli dipping sauces.

5. Joyride Truck, www.joyridetrucks.com
Attention fro-yo lovers: the Joyride Truck makes a perfectly tart frozen treat with a mix of organic yogurt and all-natural greek yogurt. They also offer “Buzzed” yogurt (fro-yo infused with a dose of caffeine)—perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up. Joyride offers fresh fruit and dessert-inspired toppings: oreos, Cap’n Crunch, gummy bears, and more. The best part? The indecisive can ask for as many toppings they want at no additional cost. The coffee is good too, with beans from Stumptown Coffee Roasters—the city’s best.
