Italian Ice Hunt 2009

Last week I joined Grace and Robyn for the first annual Italian Ice Hunt. This hunt consisted of three girls in a car (thanks for driving Grace!!), an empty stomach, and five hours in Brooklyn and Queens. It was tons of fun but I never ever want to see Italian ice again. Or at least for a few months, heheh. The results are posted in Grace's Serious Eats post. Knock yourself out ;)

Our last stop was at L&B Spumoni Gardens, by which point we were badly craving something savoury. Thank god for pizza. We chased that last cup of lemon ice with a slice each of the Sicilian...

...and then Robyn and I split another plain slice. The more pizza, the merrier!! Goodness you have no idea just HOW DELICIOUS this was after one too many cups of lemon ice. Pizza is one my favourite foods - I keep meaning to do one MASSIVE pizza post, but don't know if I'll ever get around to it :/

Robyn says 'hi'! :D

So much italian ice! Amazing that you could go to so many ice places without getting brainfreezed :). You should definitely do the pizza post. It will be a great continuation of Italian food posts!

LOL, I did get pretty sick of Italian ice...I had a blast, but am planning to stay away from any more ice for awhile :)
