Ah yes, it’s that time again. The weekend is here! Whether you’re going to Parked!, eating some Oysters, eating BBQ by Pier54 or simply chillaxin’, hopefully the weather won’t put a damper on your plans. As for us, we’re going over to a friend’s place for a home-cooked meal, doing some volunteering then heading on over to the Hamptons to hang. The i8 Test kitchen will also be in full force this wknd in preparation for next week’s i8 Supper Club (Family Style). Over and out!
CYI has been granted the “Pay It Forward Grant” by Weil, Gotshal, & Manges, LLP and through this grant, they will be hosting a Summer Ice Cream Social on Monday, July 25th, 2011from 5PM to 8PM at the Museum of Chinese in America. See y’all there!

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.

L: Ma Peche’s Pork Belly & Beef Banh Mi, R: CerTe’s Lobster Hot Dog w/ potatoes, lobster salt
RECAP: No, even the rain couldn’t stop the Foodgasm. On hand were many, but our favorites included the Ma Peche Pork Belly & Beef Banh Mi and the Lobster Hot Dog from CerTe. Let’s not forget washing it all down with some Kelvin Slush then heading over to Miss Softee for some soft serve. We were indifferent about Eddie’s Pizza Truck (cardboard crust) as well as Wafels & Dinges (undercooked). Honorable mention was the amazing roti that Biryani Cart used in their Kati Rolls, as well as the amazing 3 Chili Sauce from El Rey Del Sabor. PICS HERE | MORE COVERAGE HERE

The tacos are free, up to three per person.
