There will be up to 24 trucks and trikes vending on The Greenway daily during the height of the season; specifics can be found at rfkgc.org/food with updates via @HelloGreenway on Twitter. From Indian delicacies and Korean fusion, to seafood and fresh cooked burgers – our trucks never disappoint the neighborhood’s lunchtime crowd.

This family-friendly event is a great opportunity to try out “Greenway Cuisine” – especially for those who cannot make it to The Greenway on weekdays.
