Traditional schnitzels with Austrian potato salad and braised sauerkraut have us singing “Danke Schoen.”

Enough about the (rightfully) hyped falafel. Middle Eastern-inspired smoothies (try pear/mint/lemon) are just the fix we’re looking for. It’s TelAvivacious.

Buttery, toasted, Maine-style lobster rolls have us hooked. Order a side of Jonah crab claws for a full New England experience.

It’s an ever-changing menu of grilled cheese. Need we say more? Actually, yes: The goat cheese with walnut skordalia and pickled beets melts hearts.
The Morris Truck (401-440-8910, @morristruck, or morrisgrilledcheese.com).
The malted ball, French vanilla milk shakes bring all the boys (and girls) to the yard. And we’d like to order four. Unfortunately, there is a charge.
Milk Truck (@milktrucknyc or milktruckgrilledcheese.com).
It’s all in the name: simple, classic burgers with mix-and-match options for bun (brioche, sesame), cheese (brie, cheddar), and toppings (onion jam, bacon). Don’t forget the Belgian fries with aioli.
Frites ’n’ Meats (917-292-9226, @fritesnmeats, or fritesnmeats.com).

Scoring a de Verdekke (fresh Belgian wafers, ice cream, toppings) at the end of the night is akin to hitting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth.
Wafels & Dinges (@waffletruck or wafelsanddinges.com).
Here’s an animal of a truck. Korean barbecue with an interactive, build-it-yourself menu. Try a side of bacon and kimchi fried rice or, if you’re feeling veggie, the organic tofu.
Korilla BBQ (@korillabbq or korillabbq.com).
If you think this L.A. import is suspect, give its snickerdoodle and strawberry or red velvet and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches a thorough inspection.
