Sometimes the best things in life are things you just stumble upon. This is exactly what happened last weekend. My husband and I went into Lower Manhattan to check out the biannual Washington Square Outdoor Art Exhibit. Normally on the weekends, we just putz around the house. Last weekend, however, the weather was gorgeous and it seemed like a good break from our usual routine to go into the city, look at some art and soak up the last few remaining rays of the summer sun. Having just returned from a recent trip to Paris, France, where we spent a good portion of the trip in the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay, the Washington Square Outdoor Art Exhibit was extra enjoyable because we could see the influence and inspirations of past generations on current works.
After walking through the Art Exhibit, we found ourselves aimlessly strolling through the West Village. We stumbled upon Ramen Takumi, where we were served surprisingly tasty and reasonably priced, cold Ramen noodles. Next up was Victory Garden, which serves goat milk ice cream. I had never heard of goat milk ice cream before, but I love goat cheese; even though I was shockingly not in the mood for ice cream, I thought it was too precious of an opportunity to pass up. I am glad I did not, as the ice cream was smooth, creamy and deliciously tangy. Although the price tag is a bit hefty, the "artisan" ice cream was one of the few I have had that deserve both the name and the price. Victory Garden claims that goat milk ice cream is the best ice cream and I may just be inclined to agree. If you are interested in checking out Victory Garden, they are located at: 31 Carmine Street (between Bleecker and Bedford).
Until next time, keep calm and get your ice cream eating on.
