Looks like Yum and I are not the only 2 people who are crazy about ice cream sandwiches this summer. When I went for cocktails and tapas at Two last Friday with my gal pals we ordered the trio of ice cream sandwiches. They were delicioso!

NPR All Things Considered, May 19, 2009
· On a bustling sidewalk in the Dominican neighborhood of New York City's Washington Heights, Carmen Calderon reaches over a folding table to wave a pamphlet at a sandwich delivery man, shouting in Spanish, "You know your rights as a worker?" The man smiles and keeps biking.
But in the course of an afternoon Calderon manages to lure others and deliver her message, part of a new effort by New York State's Labor Department to combat wage theft among this city's enormous immigrant workforce.
