The Tipsy Baker 

North Esplanade

You can taste Café D’Avignon’s pastries at an impressive lineup of Michelin-starred restaurants and five-star hotels, or you can simply walk up to The Tipsy Baker food truck. Here, you’ll find the croissant or pain au chocolat of your dreams, along with iced coffee, iced tea, lemonade, and sandwiches. The truck, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on North Esplanade, is an extension of The Tipsy Baker shop at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, which serves an even wider variety of pastries, quiches, and tartines by day — and turns into a wine bar by night.

Glace

Center Plaza

If you find yourself in Midtown with a nagging sweet tooth, head toward Center Plaza and look for the color yellow. Sasha Zabar’s Glace first found itself in the spotlight after the s’mores hot chocolate served at its Upper East Side shop went viral, but ice cream is its specialty. At his vintage French Citroen–inspired ice cream truck in Center Plaza, Zabar recommends the Fifty Fifty: half soft serve, half slushy. (The move is to order it Japanese creamsicle style, a marriage of vanilla and yuzu lemonade, he told us.) You can, of course, also get your hands on the next iteration of that famous s’mores hot chocolate, served frozen, or choose from a selection of sundaes and soft serves.

Puya

North Esplanade

Puya Tacos de Puebla has a popular taqueria at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, but there’s no denying tacos often taste best served from a truck. The Puya taqueria on North Esplanade is certainly no exception: Any of the options offered will satisfy your craving, but go ahead and try all three (for research, of course). There’s the al pastor with tender pork, the carne asada with perfectly seasoned beef, and the always fresh vegetariano. Don’t forget a side of guacamole and a fruity agua fresca or a Mexican soft drink to wash it all down. Puya is open for lunch, dinner, or snack time from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
