SOME LIKE IT FROZEN
It’s ice-cream weather—or close enough—so I went and tested all the non-truck options: Duane Park’s gelato stand (right); the Odeon’s cart; Ciao Bella; and the ice-cream sandwiches at Wichcraft and Tribeca Treats. The results are here. As a reward for my service, perhaps you could try out the various gyms for me…?

CALENDAR: MAY 24–JUNE 26
What’s going on in Tribeca this week: Sean Hayes speaks, “Breathless,” Jeff Daniels sings, Macao Trading Co.’s Drunken Dragon Festival, “Video Slut,” Emily Gould and other writers on their first kisses, Tool’s wine-loving frontman, “Equally Shared Parenting,” Wyatt Cenac, writer Lee Smith, and more. Plus: the full calendar through June 26.

ODE TO POETS HOUSE
I happen to love a good poem, but even I was a little intimidated by Poets House. I don’t write poetry, and I don’t claim to understand much of the poetry I come across. (Take the poetry in The New Yorker—please!) But the facility, to use an overly clinical word, has a lot to offer, even if you don’t know the difference between a sonnet and a limerick.

ONE FROM THE ARCHIVES
Tribeca—or Tribeca®—is a marvelous brand, perhaps because it can mean whatever you want it to. In a pair of roundups (part one and part two), I looked at a bunch of products all called Tribeca—besides the Subaru model—to see what, if anything, they have in common.
