A Fun UFO/Alien Themed Food Truck Park
I stopped by Area 51 Food Park while I was in the area, mostly out of curiosity about the place. It's out on the far east side of town, an area where new housing is being developed and that's basically on the edge of the city right now.
I ended up meeting the owner, who was super friendly and walked me around the whole property, telling me about his future plans, upcoming events, and more. We browsed the food trucks that were on site at the time, and he even showed me the back part of the property that hasn't been developed into anything yet. The place is decorated with alien and Area 51 themed signage throughout, fitting the name. While I was there I had a beer, ate a gyro from one of the food trucks, and talked with the owner about UFOs and various other stuff.
There's a lot of space here, with picnic tables scattered around, string lights set up for evening dining, and an area set aside for live music. It seems like a genuinely cool place to go hang out in the evening once it's fully built out.— Paul
