Bites on the Boulevard, August 9, 5-9 pm

August 8, 2016 by MacArthur Boulevard Association

It’s that time again: Back to School! Join us Tuesday August 9th, 5-9pm for the final – so sad, we know 🙁 – MacArthur Boulevard food truck meetup of the summer at District 23 parking lot (1413 South MacArthur Boulevard). Something special we’re doing this month is gathering donations for neighborhood after school programs for kids in need, so please feel free to bring any school supplies (including bookbags) that you’d like to donate to local kiddos.

Market on MacArthur will also be going on at the same time so in addition to supporting a great cause, you’ll have good food and ample shopping! Sounds pretty great for a Tuesday.

Ace Bike Shop will be hosting a bike parking lot again! Drop your bike off and they will keep an eye on it while you eat and shop!

The Trucks:

  • Brighter Life Food Farms Kitchen
  • Chadito’s
  • Cooper’s StrEATside Bistro
  • Popper’s Pod
  • Sidewinder’s
  • Twyford BBQ
  • Itty Bitty Fashion Truck
  • and more!

Drinks:

  • Craft beer will be available from both Engrained and Rolling Meadows.
  • Water and sodas will also be available!

Parking:
Again, there is limited parking in the Standard Mutual lot on South Grand and MacArthur as well as in the neighborhood West of the lot. We encourage everyone who is able to walk or ride their bike to this neighborhood event.

We also HIGHLY encourage anyone choosing to park east of MacArthur to walk to the nearest cross walk either at Laurel and MacArthur or South Grand and MacArthur. Pretty please, be conscientious of residents when parking in residential areas.

Paying:
No admission – but we are hoping you will donate school supplies! Many of the trucks do accept credit cards, however, a few do not. Cash is always accepted and appreciated.

Seats:
There will be tables and chairs, but you are welcome to bring your own chairs.
