At the end of the first leg of a route 66 drive from Chicago to St Louis is the Gateway to the West where you are greeted by the sight of The Arch on the St Louis banks of the Mississippi River. Impressive enough in itself, but you cannot eat or drink it, so I retired…

Ice Cream on Route 66 – A Twistee Treat
As you drive along Route 66 through Illinois on the way to St Louis you pass by the Twistee Treat Ice Cream building. If you don’t see the ice cream shack – you will probably have been distracted by the UFO, or great big tall man holding an ice cream. It was the UFO that caught…
Gorilla Cheese NYC Food Truck
Walking along West Montrose towards the Wilson Red Line from the Montrose Brown Line stop in the sunshine I saw a familiar face up on the wall and it created a brief flashback to the previous weekend. King Kong had clearly headed back over to New York from Chicago, perhaps he thought that everyone had forgotten about…
Beechers – Cheese Emporium NYC
Just between Union Square and the Flatiron building is Beechers, it is actually right next to the new location of ‘Craft’ Tom Coliccio’s resturant, so it is in good company. It describes itself as a store and cafe and it certainly was a striking and very pleasant space to eat lunch in. I…
Seoul Food Wagon
I chanced upon the Seoul Food Wagon in Union Square on a small trip last weekend to New York City. It was such a good looking truck I felt I had to give them a chance and sample their fare. On occasion I really despair, I stood in the queue, or line if you like,…
Phils Steaks – NYC – Cheesesteak wit wiz
Oh my Gawd, I was just hitting food truck after food truck. I had headed down on the red line just to hit up Union Square to see if the traders at the regular farmers food market were still there. On my way from the station walking along 14th St I bumped into Phils Steaks. With a…
Real Good Truck – NYC
I am a total sucker for a food truck and even if I have just eaten I can’t pass one by, even if I just have a taste. 20 minutes earlier I was walking out from the Chelsea Market with my meat pie from “Tuck Shop” and I was heading over to Myers of Keswick…
Tuck Shop ‘the great aussie bite’ NYC
I love a good meat pie and I had read about this place on NFT (Not For Tourists) NYC so I really had to head over here for a pie. I had checked it out over the holiday season but I was on my way then to get Fish and Chips from ‘A Salt and…
Rickshaw Dumplings Food Truck – Times Square New York
Rickshaw Dumplings Food Truck – Times Square New York Rickshaw Dumpling Bar is located just on the edge of Times Square, if you surface from the Times Square subway entrance at the far south east corner to avoid the crowds you will hit this particular bar. It is not really a food truck as…
Metro North – Princeton New Jersey
I was too busy catching up with friends to take many pictures at this place, a decent grill just outside of Princeton New Jersey. Old quaint and with quite a little bit of history the ambiance was very comfortable. With no alcohol in sight the conversation flowed which just goes to show that good company and…
