I hit up two different places--the Times Sq. B&J's (I got mint chocolate chunk), then headed down to Macy's (sweet cream & cookies). Then I went to a concert :) The Times Sq. one was better, since they served the ice cream in sugar cones, not the regular kind they had at Macy's.

Well of course I'm excited! Free ice cream! Did I mention it was free? (and B&J is one of my favorites, next to Otto's gelato, of course, but the only time I got that free was the day of the blackout!)

Yeah, there is a live band outside the one on 3rd Ave and a line wrapped around the block.

When I snuck out to the one at Macy's at 2:30ish, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. There was a line, but it was moving very quickly.

I walked by ben & jerry in the east village and there must have been hundreds of people waiting in line. Is it really worth waiting 2 hours for a 2 dollar ice cream cone. it was similiar to scenes of vatican city that I saw on tv earlier today.
