Food Truck Tuesdays kick off at Larkin Square

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — It’s 84 degrees, a band is covering one of your favorite ’80s jams, you’re grabbing a beer, some fried dough and a few friends with you.

You can see why hundreds of people showed up for an incredible night in June for the start of Food Truck Tuesday.

“We have three full months of summer fun and if this is any indication, oh my goodness,” said Leslie Zemsky, vice president of Larkin Development Group.

Marie Lima brought her friend Denise Knight for the first time, thinking this first Tuesday would be light.

“And I thought, well, it’s a beautiful night and there you go, everyone’s out,” Knight said.

Foodies came to taste the different food trucks from all over WNY and listen to live music. It’s a simple equation for happiness.

“It’s the perfect place on a Tuesday night,” Lima said. “The food is fabulous. There are so many people here and the music is spectacular.”

What delicious treats did people enjoy? We’re talking pulled pork from Fat Bobs, sausages from Street Eats, and delicious treats from Luiga’s Ice Cream on Wheels.

And food and music are much better when you enjoy them with your loved ones and neighbors.

“It’s just a good time, you know, there’s a bunch of different new food trucks and a lot of friends that I haven’t seen in a while, everyone seems to gather here, it’s beautiful ” said AJ Giordano.
