Well done, MM! This should be a blast! Start spreading the news...

This will be fun. Great use for an otherwise empty lot. Any chance some future Girard taco peddlers might be making a preview-debut?

Do the coupons require a Smart Phone or Equivalent?
Looks to me like you must sign-up for Level_Up and they give you a credit on their system, am I wrong, or are there other (unique) coupon offers.

Yes I believe you need a smart phone and also to be registered for the services (Level Up and Uber).

went over last night. great time, very well attended. this should be a regular event throughout the summer.

big thanks to all those folks that made it happen.

[tinasparkle]

Agreed. It was great. Would love to see it become a regular event.

[BenDee]

I really enjoyed it! The only disappointing part was that the empanada truck ran out of food less than halfway through the event.

Us too! I think the truckers would as well, so please stay tuned!

Almost all the truckers were sold out, many well before the closing time, as you mentioned. This is a good problem to have as it indicates the amount of demand, and will lead to doing this more often, we believe.

What a great event-thanks MMPartners!

Thoughts for the next time

Beer:
It seems like Vermont was well represented but where were the Philly brewers?
It might be more tasty to have small companies like St Benjamin (Kensington) and Earth-Bread+Brewery (Mt Airy) represent.

Many of my Fairmount neighbors came to the event last night! It was great and we all really appreciated being included in this great food truck culture we have going on here. The empty lot that was used is in such a prime location to bridge Fairmount and Brewerytown. Why is it still empty? What a great space for a community garden.

It's privately owned. It is the lot where the owner tried to build a McDonald's and the neighborhood flipped out. Apparently he has had a grudge about it since.

[Moonraker]

Simply put the lot owners believe that land is a valuable asset. During prior negotiations, they were asking too much $$$.

Don't forget Thursday August 2nd on Eakins Oval when the Street Vendor's Association will have their thing, and beer will be sold.

[6enny]

Yeah, that event was amazing. There must have been 300 people there. I didn't even think it was well advertized.

Also, thank god they didn't build a McDonald's there.
