If Cher could approve of an ice cream truck, it would be this one: Douglas Quint and Bryan Petroff of New York’s BIG GAY ICE CREAM will be in town this week. They’ve spent the last few days in Los Angeles and are headed northward to scoop (well, soft-serve) their delicious frozen treats at Cultivate—the big, free, all-day festival in Golden Gate Park on Saturday June 8th. They’ll also be doing some demonstrations and serving some nondairy, Mexican-inspired goods at the festival. If you can’t make Cultivate, you can still catch them on Friday evening, time and place to be decided. Follow their Twitter feed for the specifics. They’ll also be at ~HUMPHRY SLOCOMBE~ on Sunday June 9th, and an appearance is also slated for Jake Godby’s Truck Stop Cafe that evening (6pm-9pm).
Here’s another way to expand your Financial District lunch options. Check out EAT CLUB, a new food truck that offers food from a variety of different restaurants you can’t get delivery from, including Yummy Yummy, Nopalito, and Bar Tartine. Each day, check out the mobile app for food selections, then order and pay with your phone and pick up your lunch at one of the truck stops downtown. Whether you eat it at your desk or not is up to you.
