In a most fortuitous stroke, my lunch buddy bailed on me and my beloved food cart was absent from its usual spot. Because said lunch buddy never wants to go when we eat together, I went to Foragers (yeah, I get it—it’s way too bougie for its own good) and was delighted to see the brothers Van Leeuwen have brought a tiny taste of their goods to DUMBO. It doesn’t appear to be in operation just yet, but there was a lone ice cream sandwich (and potential turf war a-brewin’?) in the cooler, prepared in a very slapdash manner, as if only in testing stages.

Here’s hoping they honor an employee discount.
