The holidays are upon us, which means that it's busy season, and you probably have little time to do the grocery shopping, let alone cook yourself a hot dinner. Gothamist opted for one solution at the Whole Foods Market on Bowery, the megalith of a grocery store that you either love for its fromagerie, Ciao Bella gelateria, and free wi-fi upstairs--or hate for being so enormous you find it impossible to find anything--which offers...

The Iceman Leaveth
As some of you have pointed out, one of our favorite summer spots, NYC Icy, is no more. Like you, we had the same reaction -- severe depression. Where are we supposed to go now to get our cool summer treats on, especially on a day like today?!? We've come up with a few suggestions on our own, and the Daily News added a bunch to our list.
Eating & Drinking -- A Tasting Celebration
Upon entering Time Out New York's Eating & Drinking event at Splashlight Studios the other night, Gothamist felt a little like we had wandered into a fashion event rather than a food event -- stark white walls, dj_cat's 80's music blaring, and tall, thin, beautiful people who certainly looked like they didn't spend all that much time eating. But after we got over feeling a little like Team Party Crash and getting over the fact that we were about a foot shorter than everyone there, we relaxed and joined in the festivities. The event celebrated the launch of TONY's latest Eating and Drinking guide by featuring over 35 restaurants featured within and bringing together some of the city's most famous chefs, including Wylie Dufresne of WD-50. With two floors of tasty delights to choose from, we opted out of Wylie's pickled beef tongue sandwich (sorry, Wylie, tongue still freaks us out a little), and headed upstairs to taste some of the international cuisine featured there.
Brooklyn Bridge Park Summer Film Series
Gothamist was taking a brown-bag lunch at Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park last week when we noticed preparations were underway for the Brooklyn Bridge Park Summer Film Series, which kicks off this Thursday, July 8.
Today's Food: Dine Around Downtown and Taste Of NY
If you work in the Financial District, Gothamist suggests you check out the Downtown Alliance's Dine Around Downtown event, where you can try samples of food from restaurants like Capsuto Freres, Ciao Bella, Bouley and Danube, and Les Halles Downtown, for $3 to $5. The event will be held at Chase Manhattan Plaza (between Liberty & Pine and Nassau & William Streets), from 11AM-3PM. Here's a PDF of participants. [If it's raining, the event will be on Thursday, May 20.]
It's also Taste of New York tonight, where restaurants offer their finest for an evening of enjoying food and raising money for good causes. Restaurants participating include Lever House, Wallse, BLT Steak, Riingo, The Harrison, Blue Hill and the Danny Meyer empire of Gramercy Taven/Union Square/Blue Smoke/Tabla/Eleven Madison Park (Meyer is a chair); bartenders participating include Dale DeGroff and ones from from Masa and Milk & Honey . There may still be tickets left; the tickets are steep, from $250 and up, but they benefit benefits a number of organizations, including hunger relief non-profit Save Our Strength, God's Love We Deliver (meals to individuals affected by HIV), Food Bank For New York City, and City Harvest.
