Of course New Yorkers can never be satisfied with just Mr. Softee or the Circus Man. Window shopping in Soho yesterday I spotted the Van Leeuwan ice cream truck, the purveyor of gourmet organic ice cream. Of course in total New York fashion there was a line that was at least 30 minutes long. I pondered should I … shouldn’t I … hmm … finally my greed got the best of me and I stood in line in the 92 degrees heat … urrrgh! I guess it didn’t hurt that the truck was stationed outside the Louis Vuitton store. That means I was able to multi-task – Sweet! So, what’s so special about this ice cream? Well its organic for one and its of course delicious. After debating flavors, I decided on the Giandujia and Red Currant. YUM! No gum paste gook here – all fresh ingredients. The wait is a bit absurd but I guess it goes with the territory. Organic ice cream truck does sounds like an environmental oxymoron however but I guess that also goes with the territory. They have 2 trucks stationed in lower Manhattan and now one in Park Slope. This is a definite must try!

I am not really sure under which rock I’ve been hiding but apparently while I was not paying attention the donut elves at Holey Donuts have been cooking up LOW FAT DONUTS. Sounds like an oxymoron I know! I was put on to these by my friend and fashion photographer extraordinaire, Amber Rima a while back. Of course ever the skeptic I had to verify first hand. They are so sooooooooo delicious, light and fluffy. At 3 grams of fat each and 150 calories, that makes them ever more soooooo delicious. Better yet still they are made to order (not fried), flash frozen, delivered to your door, and nicely packaged I might add. Upon arrival you can just pop one or two in the microwave for instant gratification or you can horde them away for up to three months to fulfill those late night cravings guilt free. Featured here are the Low Fat Pink Velvet Strawberry Frosted and Low Fat Classic Vanilla Frosted. Bon Appetit!
