Until 2/5/10 NYC Restaurant Week Truck @ Flatiron + Downtown Locations

This winter, the NYC Restaurant Week Truck brings soup from 24 of the City’s best restaurants to three lucky New York City street corners. And because NYC cares about more than just great food, $1 from every $6 NYC Restaurant Week Truck purchase will go to The Haiti Relief Fund at the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, aiding disaster-relief efforts in Haiti. For more information about The Haiti Relief Fund and the City's efforts, visit nyc.gov.

About the NYC Restaurant Week Truck
New York has always been the world’s leader in mobile cuisine—which is only natural, considering how fast everything moves here. In recent years, the City’s grab-and-go offerings have blossomed far beyond the expected pretzels, hot dogs, ice cream, falafel and “street meat,” yielding a startling selection of four-wheeled pizzerias, French cafés, bakeries and more. Now, in honor of NYC Restaurant Week, the City has commissioned the NYC Restaurant Week Truck.

This heavy-duty vehicle comes fully loaded with power steering, automatic transmission and an extensive menu of soups from 24 of the tastiest Winter Restaurant Week participants. For a limited time, mouthwatering (and hand-warming) delicacies from the likes of ‘21’ Club, Delmonico's Steakhouse and Tribeca Grill will be available on New York City sidewalks. The soups cost just $6 and come complete with bread from Tom Cat Bakery. Coke will also be on hand with free sample beverages. It’s enough to rev any foodie’s engine.
