509956 Wed Apr 16 07:56:08 -0700 2008 8 18 Manhattan 0 3599532 Every weekday morning on the corner of Broadway and Liberty Street in the Financial District, an orange and pink truck sells coffee and Doughnut Plant donuts. (except for Mondays, the day Doughnut Plant is closed) This truck is there until 11am or so and then it is replaced by a Mister Softee. Unfortunately the coffee is not organic, so I just stick to the donuts. After reading the recent NYT article "Did Your Shopping List Kill A Songbird?" non-organic coffee does not taste good. "The imported fruits and vegetables found in our shopping carts in winter and early spring are grown with types and amounts of pesticides that would often be illegal in the United States. . .What should you put on your bird-friendly grocery list? Organic coffee, for one thing. Most mass-produced coffee is grown in open fields heavily treated with fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/30/opinion/30stutchbury.html?scp=2&sq=songbirds+coffee&st=nyt Wed Apr 16 07:56:08 -0700 2008 43443 eade 1 3600932 Thanks for posting about this. Although not organic, his coffee is very good. I was surprised with a pecan banana donut from there yesterday and it was ssooooo good. He is looking to add croissants as well but wants to find the best option. I suggested Pattisere Claude. Wed Apr 16 13:28:17 -0700 2008 3599532 21269 bussy26 1 3600947 This is the Love Truck, right? It looks like the Mud Truck because they are both orange, but this one has Love painted in pink on the side, yes? Wed Apr 16 13:30:45 -0700 2008 3599532 10936 kathryn 1 3601032 Yes. The Love Truck. Wed Apr 16 13:46:49 -0700 2008 3599532 21269 bussy26 1 3601729 This truck (looks like the Mud Truck) also appears near my office on Wall Street (fairly close to Water Street) with Doughnut Plant donuts. When I notice what times I'll report back. Wed Apr 16 16:39:17 -0700 2008 3599532 73159 financialdistrictresident 2 3607532 I work right near water street too. I would love to try the doughnut plant donuts. Where exactly is this truck and what is it called?
