[Updated] For the Mudtrucks, chrome is the new black


[Via Mudspot's Facebook page]

Well, it looks like Mudspot Coffee has retired their familiar orange ... the Mudtrucks, which have been around since 2000, have a new look as of yesterday ... @sammers133 spotted the new chrome model on Astor Place today...



Nice! But will the truck absorb too many rays reflecting off of 51 Astor Place? May need some better AC come summertime.

Updated 4:30

We checked in with Mudspot General Manager Yasmina Palumbo about the change.

"Well, it kinda just happened. We were part of an event that asked us to go chrome for the day. We did it and we liked it so much we decided to keep it — but just for a minute. Mudtruck Orange will be back — way before the melting sun of summer!"

Mud Truck ready again for action?

Nearly two weeks have passed since the Mud Truck was seen on Astor Place... as Eater noted, the truck was hit by the Department of Health...

However, last night, I spotted the truck out front of its home on Ninth Street near Avenue C...



... looking ready for action... and no sign of the telltale DOH sticker...



Updated:

Maybe not... no Mud Truck in the usual spot on Astor Place a little bit earlier this morning ... but the guy in the DOT van here was drinking coffee...
