Wafels and Dinges
Update: Wafels and Dinges now has a restaurant at 15 Ave B
Street-fare Belgian waffles have arrived in Midtown! The Wafels & Dinges truck has migrated uptown to 46th street between 5th and 6th avenue, brightening the days of office dwellers like a bright yellow beacon. The menu lists both the puffy, breakfast-style Belgian waffles, as well as liege waffles, in both cinnamon or vanilla flavors. I advise on getting your liege waffle ($4) simply dusted with sugar, but you can upgrade to something called the WMD (Waffle of Massive Deliciousness) and pile on as many dinges (Belgian slang for toppings) as you like for $7.
The liege waffles were chewy and delicious as they should be and better than those at the lookalike Waffle Truck sighted around Astor Place–photo above, for your dossier. And the waffle man was nice, but noncommittal about how long they’ll be parked at the new locale. It sounds like something they’re trying out for a bit.
Wafles & Dinges Truck, South side of 46th St., between Fifth and Sixth Ave, closer to Sixth.
Around from about 9am-4pm. Check the web site for other locations
