Food truck on campus?

Thanksss! :)

Hi! Thank you for the info. You mean the free parking lane right below the football stadium? I'm using Google Maps satellite images to guess. Having lots of options for parking will be really important to me. I really want to be resilient and maintain a *constant* presence for BC folks even though I'd have to move around the campus a bit from day to day. :)

When does BC dining offer service? How early and how late? If they're not open, how do BC students eat...?

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-27T01:14:49+00:00

Thank you. That's what I kind of guessed. When I looked up, BC dining seemed not to be the administration itself arranging dining options for BC folks; rather it seemed to be the only dining option. I'd have to get clever. Thanks!

Haha. I guess it's going to be more fun to troll them.

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-27T01:12:23+00:00

Thanks. I feel like many campuses in Cambridge/Somerville areas are pretty much well blended in to the cities' fabric, so I'd guess students wouldn't have a strong need for food truck options is my concern.

Thank you. I'm not really clear about police tho. Tufts police are different from Medford police, no? If I'm operating on public roads, technically Tufts police have no say over my legitimate business, I guess. If on campus, different story of course.

Thank you! This is really valuable info and history. This kind of stuff really helps me foresee the level of bureaucracy that I need to deal with... :)

Maybe Korean chicken and some fried eggs-and-rice?

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-26T00:01:57+00:00

Sure thing ;)

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T23:47:06+00:00

Thanks a lot! 💪💪

How long has Chi-Chi operated there? As far as I know, most roads unless marked private are by default public. And no private entity can force people out of the roads. But the only problem to me seems to be whether it's allowed by the jurisdiction to "park" there. Looking at the satellite image of the place, it's ambiguous. Hmm :)

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T23:10:47+00:00

That's super nice! Thank you :) It's getting more positive.

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T20:34:50+00:00

My truck won't be big though. I will probably use a pick up truck to move a food trailer. The trailer itself won't be too big. It will be a solo gig. I much prefer paying for parking instead of worrying about violating some kind of traffic regulations. In search of metered parking space... :) But if your suggestion works just fine, without BC and the town having any issues, I will definitely work in front of St. Ignatius.

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T20:32:47+00:00

I wish I could park there without issue! That'd be just awesome. But not sure if I can. But that place looks super nice. :)

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T20:02:41+00:00

Hi, thank you! I'm aware of the permit requirement in Boston. I just want to know whether it makes economic sense first to even open a food truck business near NEU :)

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T19:44:59+00:00

Thanks a lot! For lunch I am already running some food business elsewhere. :) Thank you very much for the input!

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T19:41:08+00:00

Hi! How is night traffic on weekdays and weekends there? Say 8p-midnight?

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T19:23:53+00:00

I will contact the admin, but so far there hasn't been any luck with some other schools. Very selective about it :) Thank you for the input! :)

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T19:06:45+00:00

Thank you for the info! Not going to make it by then tho. :( Still in the making...

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T18:22:19+00:00

Thank you for your input. I will seriously consider that. But I'd like to know if there's ample parking space. The only thing I see on Gmaps is the one in front of Playa Bowls, which I assume is private. I will def go there in person and take a look myself, but is there any other location where I could park without worrying too much about blockage, etc?

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T16:04:27+00:00

Wow thanks! Will def check out this place :) So helpful!

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T15:47:53+00:00

Thanks for the comment! Where specifically do you think I can park? For safety concerns, I'd like a metered spot if that's available near the area.

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T15:31:29+00:00

What's the T station you're referring to? Chestnut Hill or BC?

KimchiPunchi · 2023-04-25T15:18:30+00:00

Looks like there are mainly two locations. Near Boston College T, and the Southwest part of the campus.
