Eleven food trucks will officially begin serving up delicious eats late at night in the city. It's called the Late Night Food Truck Program, which gives a select few businesses the opportunity to operate until 3 a.m. They will be located at seven locations across Boston near hospitals, universities, nightlife hotspots, and concert venues. It will provide night shift workers, such as nurses, servers, police officers, DJs, and concertgoers with more food options. "What happens at night is just as important," Corean Reynolds, director of Nightlife Economy for the City of Boston. The eleven trucks were selected through a lottery system, with over 40 different businesses applying. The trucks provide a wide array of cuisine, from Caribbean fusion to lobster, chicken bites, empanadas and more. They are: Boss Town (Hot dogs) Extreme Flavor (African and Caribbean fusion) Cool Shade (Jamaican) Cousins Maine Lobster (Seafood) Sunset Cantina (Mexican) El Dugout (Dominican) HYT (Asian fusion) Augusta's Chicken on the Road (Chicken bites) Matilda's (Dominican-inspired empanadas) Murl's Kitchen (Caribbean fusion) Los Muchachos (Fast food) "As a small Black-owned, Caribbean-owned business, to grow in this way, and to see our dreams realized," Shantae Roman, owner of Murl's Kitchen, said. "Just deeply means so much to us." Mayor Michelle Wu announced the program at the end of May. It marks a full-circle moment for Wu, who helped introduce food trucks to Boston back in 2011 under Mayor Menino. We are fighting every day for Boston to be a home for everyone," Wu said. "For the first time in Boston's history, late-night food trucks will be providing fresh, cooked options to our community members late into the evening."
