Dear Lori, funny you should ask. Being a hardened Manahattanite our entire life, we didn't really grow up with ice cream trucks, but we did a little research and found out this much:

From LordkaT: "About 2 miles from where I live is where the Lickity Split fleet of ice cream trucks are parked, and I mean fleet: there's about 20 trucks parked there at night. During the winter months their shipped off to various places to receive maintenence."

As for WHERE those places are, we're out of our league. However, you could call Berliners Specialty Distributors at (301) 927-4444 and ask them. They are one of the largest ice cream truck vending operations in the country.

There's a garage of Mr. Softee-wannabees in Williamsburg. I think they're called Kool Kustard

Don't care where they go -- just very happy they are not under my bedroom window at 11:00pm droning that nasty little jingle!!!!

Isn't this question more suited to curbed.com or their restaurant child, eater.curbed.com?

Where's the AT connection?

Good Lord, I have too much time on my hands.

they are parked on the corner of sackett and carroll, next to alex figliolia's contracting business, and kitty-corner from the place where all the verizon trucks go for the winter too.
