        <content>Has anyone tried the ice cream from the cart in front of the General Greene in Fort Greene? I haven't gotten a chance to yet, but as I work part time in the neighborhood I expect to soon (given, that is, that we finally have a day of sunshine sometime soon). If you've tried it, what do you think? I'll report back when I do.</content>

      <content>YES! OH MY GOODNESS is it good! Definitely the best ice cream I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot of ice cream.  If it's available I'd recommend trying the bourbon raisin.</content>

      <content>I had the salted caramel pretzel.  It was very good but I still prefer blue marble.</content>

      <content>I tried something called bulot chip, at least that's what I think it was called, though the only thing I'm sure of is that it started with the letter "b."  Sort of like coffee chip.  Definitely a grown-up flavor, not that sweet and a little bitter (in a good way).  The texture was super-soft.  Good but not so good I'd go running back.

You should also check out the ice cream at Bittersweet down the block.  It's been awhile, but I remember really enjoying their Jamaica grapenut.</content>

      <content>Yes, thank you!  Ha ha, so glad I wasn't too far off. I remember her saying something about some sort of special coffee drink.</content>

      <content>i just went today, and have been hoping it would be great. i had the salted caramel with fresh pretzels mixed in and while it was good, it did taste a little "watery" if that is the right word.  and while it might be the best in the neighborhood, it was not as dense as i like ice cream (i am not really a fan of blue marble) and definitely wasn't better than jacques torres new icecream or even brooklyn ice cream factory ice cream off the pier.  but still if i were nearby i would probably come by just to taste the new flavors, and they were very nice.

      <content>Stopped by yesterday and got a scoop each of salted caramel pretzel and bulot chip. Both flavors were good, particularly the bulot chip, but I have to agree that generally I like my ice cream denser and also that it was served too warm--it was melting off the cone pretty rapidly. Still, $3 for two scoops isn't bad and I work a block away so I'll probably frequent it this summer if only because the flavors show some real thought.</content>
