Friday, September 6th @ 3pm - Ice Cream & Cookies at Levain Bakery
Featuring decadent and gooey Levain cookies topped with a scoop of ice cream.

Purchase a cookie, get a free scoop of ice cream. Available exclusively at Levain’s Amsterdam location [351 Amsterdam Ave], beginning at 3pm until supplies last.
Saturday, September 7th @ 1pm - Bagel Ice Cream Sandwich at PopUp Bagels
The ‘not famous but known’ bagel destination is offering scoops of Salt & Straw’s Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons and Strawberry Coconut Water Sherbet (v) Salt & Straw ice cream sandwiched between a hot, fresh Salt bagel for a unique savory-meets-sweet combination. Free item for first 100 customers. Available exclusively at PopUp Bagels Upper West Side location [338 Columbus Ave], beginning at 1pm while supplies last.
Sunday, September 8th @ 2pm - Babka Sundae at Breads Bakery
