CLIENT: Mister Dips

PROJECT YEAR: 2016

LOCATION: The William Vale Hotel, Brooklyn NY

In spring 2016, a boutique hotel known as The William Vale debuted in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood, just minutes from Manhattan. Offering 360-degree views of New York City from its rooftop promenade named “Vale Park,” the hotel joined up with chefs Andrew Carmellini, Anthony Ricco, and Jason Casey to dream up a novel menu featuring street fare.

Once “Mister Dips” was born and a menu imagined, the restaurateur sought an unusual food serving venue. Enter…Timeless Travel Trailers. They were ready to take on the task of customizing a vintage Airstream into a full kitchen trailer to sit on a 15,000 sq. ft elevated public green space.

The stationary Airstream was outfitted with a new platform chassis fitted with faux wheels and transported from Denver to New York via flatbed and carefully off-loaded by crane. The trailer was then hoisted and strategically positioned in its new home at Vale Park against a postcard backdrop of the city.

The unit includes stainless steel countertops and shelving, two soft-serve ice cream machines, a beer tap, a frozen drink dispenser, two freezers, three refrigerators, commercial-grade recycled vinyl flooring, and two large serving windows. The exterior was polished to a mirror finish with custom vinyl graphics on the lower half to resemble a dipped effect. Mister Dips serves up gourmet toppings for classics like ice cream, hamburgers, and fries.
