To celebrate the Spring/Summer season at The Tavern on the Green Food Truck Terrace, four food trucks — Ladle of Love, Pera Turkish Tacos, Rickshaw Dumplings, and Van Leeuwen Ice Cream — will resume daily operations (seven days a week from 11am until dusk) with exciting festivities on Saturday, April 16 (rain date Sunday, April 17) at Tavern on the Green in Central Park. New Yorkers can enjoy an afternoon of lively music and free food. Each truck will be treating attendees with complimentary menu items—one free dish per person per truck. The Blue Vipers of Brooklyn will be performing, entertaining diners with their signature upbeat jazz, swing and blues. The re-opening celebration is the first of such programs in this location. Events such as cooking demonstrations featuring celebrity chefs, live performances by a variety of entertainers, and family-oriented activities are planned for the park-going season.
