And here on the 12th floor, a food truck

Glenn Collins, reporting for the New York Times:

Every weekday in recent months, fancy-food trucks have been rumbling into the gigantic freight elevator of the Starrett-Lehigh Building at 601 West 26th Street in West Chelsea. After being hoisted aloft, they roll out into the concrete truck bays on the upper floors of the 81-year-old, 19-story commercial building. There, they post menus and proceed to sell inventive meals to office workers and their guests.

Totally awesome? Or a sign that the food truck craze has jumped the shark? I can’t decide.
