12 Trucks Giving Away Food in Hard-Hit Areas Today

Hey, GREAT NEWS: Parts of Lower Manhattan might get power sometime today, but even if that happens, it'll be a little while before restaurants (and grocery stores) are up-and-running. To help out the hungry, stir-crazy people in parts of the city that are still without power, the NYC Food Truck Association and JetBlue are sending an armada of food trucks today to give away free food. The trucks will head to different parts of blacked-out Manhattan?as well as the hard-hit Rockaways?between noon and 4 p.m. today.

All told, 12 different trucks will spread out to give away food at seven different sites today. Participating trucks include Wafels & Dinges, which is sending out several, Coolhaus, Milk Truck, Toum, and more. Here's the list of trucks and where they'll be parked:

At Eighth Avenue and 19th Street in Chelsea:
· Andy's Italian Ice
