Yay? Yaaaaay!!! This and fuzzy three-week-old maine-coon kittens be the only reasons to inhabit this planet
Good lord, you shoulda seen the line at the Dupont B&J around 3:00 PM. No way I was hitting that. Did anybody score a free cone anywhere? Nonetheless, thanks for the reminder, MJF. Free cone is fabulous! Maybe my timing/location will be better next year.
I waited about 15 minutes in Silver Spring around 2.
Around 5pm I only waited about 10 min at Silver Spring B&J’s.
But when I got to the front of the line, they told me they were out of New York Souper Fudge Chunk. I was devasted. Luckily I regained my composure long enough to order a Fudge Brownie Chunk or whatever it was called.
I didn’t realize that B&J’s stores are certified Kosher, but there were a bunch of Orthodox Jews getting their ice cream on. Nothing brings out Jews like free Kosher food.
having never lived or worked near a B&J before, and suddenly finding myself both living and working near one, i have to admit that i went overboard and had a cone of cookies and cream at the silver spring location during the day and then a cup of peanut butter cup at the chevy chase location after work. both times i waited about 10 minutes. then i went to the gym for an hour. it was worth it!
