Not Cool!

Last week in New York city, ice cream trucks got into a brawl over territorial rights to a few feet on the street.
A video of the clash between a Mister Softee truck and a competitor with a similar name was linked on the blog The Consumerist, proving that there is nothing soft about peddlers of icy treats!
Ugly words were exchanged, followed by punches and a call for the police. The incident took place at the corner of Broadway and W. 60th St., near Lincoln Center. Content may not be suitable for tender ears…

Our very own Souper Jenny, the queen of soup, the empress of salad, shot this little clip at last Friday’s Urban Picnic and Advocacy Day in front of the Sweet Auburn Curb Market. Look for the colorful trucks, listen to the reactions of the public, and help us figure out new ways to get trucks, carts, tricycles, and tables where they belong: on the street selling good food EVERY DAY!
