A Night Out

Some typical street scenes from Little Italy.  Mulberry Street is hopping on weekend evenings- especially in summer.  I know that Ive talked about it before, but I can't really emphasize enough how much I am charmed by that area.  The first photograph is a young couple buying gelato.  The girl's outfit is so perfect!  I like it in general, but for a date night in Little Italy... that girl's got style.  The second photograph is of one of the many restaurant hosts who yell to the passersby, trying to get them to come into the restaurant.

Dippin Dots

Ice cream seems to have died in New York City.  Has anyone else noticed that?  You can buy froyo at hundreds of little stores (Sixteen Handles decidedly being the best), and soft serve ice cream on every street corner from Mister Softee.  Or Captain Softee.  Or Whatever.  Gelato is becoming more popular- it's places other than Little Italy, though Little Italy is the most fun place to get it!  

But hard ice cream? pssht. So last season.

NOOOO.  I disagree.  I love ice cream in a cone, or a dish.  And Dippin Dots?  Genius.  Ice cream of the future kids, it's here.  I've never understood why this stuff hasn't caught on more.  It's so great.
