Just in time for Spring (it's almost here!), Van Leeuwen artisan ice cream opens in Boerum Hill. Although we didn't try any of the ice cream (we heard they're giving out free samples today for the grand opening!), we know from experience that it's amazing! With flavors like red currant and ginger, how could it not be?

At 2 p.m. this afternoon, they were still putting the finishing touches on the shop when we stopped by, but they're open til 6 tonight!

Van Leeuwen operates ice cream trucks around the city and a storefront in Greenpoint.
