••• Excellent news! Starting this Saturday at the Tribeca Family Festival, Tribeca Treats will offer SoCo Creamery ice cream by the scoop (cones or cups): “There will be six flavors a day to choose from, and, once we work out the kinks, we’ll also offer our cookie and brownie crumbs, caramel sauce, chocolate fondue, etc., as toppings! (SoCo is a family-owned micro-creamery located in the Berkshires.)” The ice cream fun goes through September.

••• An invitation from Paolo Meregalli (who is Italian and does not at all mean “precious” to be sarcastic): “We are planning on opening a Restaurant & Wine Experience in your neighborhood at 279 Church Street between Franklin and White Streets. We would love to invite you on site to meet with us check out the project and give us your precious feedback. The meeting will take place Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. I hope to see you there.” Read more about his project, Mulino a Vino, here.
