Scooper Bowl Ice Cream Festival

We went to Boston's Scooper Bowl tonight, an ice cream festival masquerading as a kid's charity event. It occupies Boston's Government City plaza (front side of city hall) and runs 3 days, June 8 to 10. Matthew wrote up a review of all 36 flavors at his personal blog.

Latin lunch in Brooklyn!

Sunny and I just spent two days at her long-time friend Chelsea's place in Brooklyn. We walked across the Manhattan Bridge, enjoyed the fine weather, and saw a concert in Times Square. Just before leaving on Saturday, we grabbed some lunch in their neighborhood at the very popular (and colorful!) Habana Outpost. I shot this video with our impressions and some details on their ecological thinking.

See also the Habana Outpost menu! The catfish burrito cost $8+, but I liked it quite a bit.

On Friday, we walked from Brooklyn to Times Square, crossing to the island on the Manhattan Bridge. Sunny noticed these excellent bicycle on-ramps and dedicated lanes for those using pedal power, something Boston could take a cue from!
