Today marks the first day for the Food Truck Thursdays season, an initiative started by the City of Buffalo. Mayor Brown joined city residents earlier today, to welcome the first food trucks to Niagara Square. Starting at 11am every Thursday, different food trucks will be featured at the downtown roundabout, including:
- Gourm-Asian Bistro
- Ted’s
- Franks Gourmet Hot Dogs
- Green Acres Ice Cream
- Sweet Melody’s
- Flaming Fish
- Cheesecake Guy
- Rudy’s Kitchen
- Lomo, Lomo
- Louisiana Cookery
- Tuk Tea
- Mineo and Sapio
- Street Café
- Niagara Café
The weekly food truck initiative will be ongoing through the month of September. Altogether, 24 food trucks will be participating in 2017.
It would be great to see The City put out café tables and chairs at some point, to turn Niagara Square into more of a piazza. Maybe get some musicians to accompany the food trucks, to give visitors something truly special and memorable. No matter, this is a great start but could easily be capitalized upon.
