With the temperature in NYC reaching a balmy, blessedly un-humid 80 degrees this afternoon, Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day couldn’t have had better timing. Stop by any B&J scoop shop and (after waiting in a surprisingly short line) get a free ice cream cone. There’s no catch, although donation buckets are set up for the Breast Cancer Fund. I just hit the 3rd Ave and 9th Street location, where the woman in front of me told me how her daughter had called her at work to tell her to go get free ice cream on her lunch break. She recently moved to NYC from Maharashtra and said this would be her very first cone ever. I got a scoop of ever-reliable coffee, but she went for Cherry Garcia.
