Six food trucks – and hungry art students – to occupy PCA&D’s Art Garden during lunchtime this fall

Fb 3 This fall, Students of Pennsylvania College of Art & Design and others working or visiting nearby businesses will have regularly scheduled food trucks as a new lunch dining option on Tuesdays and Thursdays at PCA&D’s Art Garden at Prince and Chestnut Streets in downtown Lancaster.

The Food Trucks will kick off with a special party on Friday, August 28, 5:00 p.m. in the Art Garden, Prince and Chestnut Street, Lancaster. All six food trucks will be present, offering their regular menus. The party is timed for the end of move-in-day for PCA&D’s Foundation Year students who will be living in Steinman Lofts for the academic year.

The trucks will be serving lunch in the Art Garden on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m., beginning September 1, and their regular schedule will continue throughout the year. September 1 starts Orientation Week for students at PCA&D. The Fall Semester begins September 8.

According to Jessica Edonick, PCA&D’s Dean of Student Services, this endeavor will increase the number of nearby healthy and appealing food options available to PCA&D students, who only have an hour between classes. “We are also thrilled to share this opportunity with the Lancaster community. We’d like everyone to join PCA&D students, faculty and staff for lunch at the Art Garden.”

The food truck line-up on Tuesday, 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m., will be:

  • Baron Von Schwein, http://www.baronvonschwein.com/#home, Modern BBQ, including pork and chicken and mac and cheese.
  • Mara-Leo’s, http://www.mara-leos.com/, Homemade Italian food
  • Souvlaki Boys, http://www.souvlakiboys.com, healthy ingredients, prepared fresh and from scratch to serve the authentic taste of Greece’s “street food.” The cornerstones of their menu include Souvlaki, small skewers of grilled pork or chicken, and Gyro, freshly stacked layers of seasoned pork.

The food trucks on Thursday, 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m., will be:
