Event – Free Mister Softee and Body Chocolate by Babeland JUN29
Thx to NYStreetFood for this…
Mister Softee is not the first thing you want to associate with sex (although the logo above can look vaguely like a sex toy if you squint enough).
Despite the unfortunate connotation, the good folks at the Babeland sex shop and toy designer Jimmyjane will have a Mister Softee truck in front of their Soho and Brooklyn stores today – and the ice cream is free.
Not only is the ice cream free, but so is the edible body chocolate they are giving out to put on top of the ice cream! They say it goes especially well with soft ice cream.

Event – Chefs for Seals NYC JUN28 – we’ll be there (updated)
RECAP: It’s great to see how passionate ‘America’s Top Model’ judge Nigel Barker is about this cause. He rounded up Chefs in NYC to bring awareness and sign their lives away vowing not to buy seafood from Canada ever again. Only maybe then will Canada take heed to the seriousness of seal skinning and clubbing. A special shoutout to THINK PR as well as The Humane Society for putting this fabulous event together.

Restaurant Review (International Edition!): Tapeo de Cervantes (Málaga)
Apologies in advance for my hiatus from life. I’ve been in Spain, studying away, with a temperamental 56k internet connection. I know, I should be out and about and NOT surfing the ‘net (but I need to research places to eat!).
This review is either a real-life incident or a Spanish soap opera. You decide. Continue reading
