F: Is for food any time

It is hard to find a great waffle in New York until now, thanks to a traveling truck. These waffles taste, just like the ones in Belgium! Their add-ons -- nutella and pulled pork! -- are great, although the waffles are delicious by themselves. Wafels & Dinges charges $5 for a waffle. The first dinges (Belgian for topping) is free, the second is $1. A scoop of ice cream is $2. Wafels & Dinges, the brainchild of Thomas DeGeest, in a bright yellow truck. The truck sells Brussels and Liège wafels, each $5. Personally, I recommend the Liège. It’s smaller and sweeter. Turn it into a brochette, or top it with the amazing spekuloos spread which tastes kind of like Graham Crackers mushed up with butter, and you have a dessert that’s worth risking your diet for. There are lots of other yummy dinges, too. I love the bacon wafel. If you really want to waffle out, pay $7 and you get an unlimited pile of dinges creating a WMD, a Wafel of Massive Deliciousness. Sweetly, the truck sells beverages to wash down these concoctions including hot Belgian cocoa and iced coffee.
