New Lunch Options on Wednesday - St. Paul

I was told that there will be up to 5 Food Trucks in St. Paul on Wednesdays, starting today. They will be lined up on Kellogg Boulevard between Wabasha and St. Peter, which I believe is right in front of City Hall. Should be a beautiful sight. I can't go today but will head up there next week. If anyone is able to get there today, I'd love to hear a report!

    Is there any free parking?

      Nope. There are lots of meters nearby though. At .25 for 9 min.

      Jealous. Jealous. Jealous. It's days like these I hate working in the 'burbs.

        Agreed - sad thing is I live a few blocks away, but since I reverse commute I'm seldom around to indulge in the glory that is the food truck court...

        Was JUST going to post the same thing! Looks like gastrotruck, 128, and more. Will try to make it today, but would love to hear if anyone else does!

            Yep, they all were there, across the street from city hall...and BUSY. I had no problem finding a place to park, but the lines were AWFUL. It would have been an easy 20mn wait at 12:30. While I was thrilled to see it be a success, it was too busy for me today. Next week, I will come at 11am and see if that works. By the way, lots and lots of happy people eating...

              Sorry to hear about the wait, but glad to hear that the concept is successful thus far.
