Pony

Had this ditty stuck in my head for at least a week now.

Lucy in Disguise

Lily Allen and Sarah Owen‘s Lucy In Disguise London store opened this week. Click the image to jump to the (new) dramatic website.

Interesting that the website doesn’t show the actual location of the store. And it’s not an online store. But  . . .  here’s a map of London.

Tho if that doesn’t work, I’ve found an address of 10-13 King Street, Covent Garden. That may help.

Ice Cream Man

‘Godby’s intention when he opened Humphry Slocombe in December 2008 was to create a challenging ice cream store. He has succeeded.’

In San Francisco, Jake Godby makes ice cream. Read about it here.

Some music, below.

Bauhaus ice cream

‘California-based architects Natasha Case and Freya Estreller recently set up Coolhaus as some sort of frozen snack homage to industry icons’

I guess if there can be a Bauhaus coffee, there can be Bauhaus ice cream.

Food truck-based ‘Coolhaus’ features ice cream sandwiches with names such as Frank Behry and Mies Vanilla Rohe. Check them out here.

Local in Los Angeles, Austin and (soon in) NYC/Hamptons.

But this weekend – tomorrow in Sacramento, September 18 – is all about cupcakes.

Rick’s Rather Rich Ice Cream

Over in the southern part of Palo Alto, Rick makes incredible ice cream. Which often include some odd flavors – especially the incredible always in time for the Gilroy Garlic Festival creamy garlic.

Drop in, see what he’s crafting this week. Click the logo to head to the website/jump:

Farrell’s comeback

Before Chuck E. Cheese existed, Victorian-themed Farrell’s was THE place to go for ice cream and birthday parties. And they’ve been making a comeback. Starting in Southern California.

Always enjoyed the original menus printed on newsprint and featuring some Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) characters (below) on its cover.

Last time I ate at an original Farrell’s, the place was filled with gang members. And each one of them just happened to have a ‘birthday’ (which resulted in free ice cream) every ten minutes or so.

The Return of Joe’s

Rumor has it that Original Joe’s in San Francisco may be reopening this year.

Hoping to stop in for a Martini, of course.
