NYC vegan food truck Cinnamon Snail to shut down

On Saturday, in the middle of a blizzard, college students waited for more than an hour in a line down the block. On Monday, Midtown office workers spent their lunch hours lining up in freezing temperatures.

The prize wasn’t a free television or tickets to Shakespeare in the Park. It was tempeh sandwiches, lentil burgers and vegan doughnuts.

The Cinnamon Snail, a vegan food truck that beat out all the city’s fine dining spots to be at one time its most highly rated food establishment on Yelp, is shutting down regular operations at the end of this week. The truck’s permit expired and the owners were unable to renew it.
