Ice Cream War

Not for the lactose intolerant:

NY Sun: Cobble Hill, a Battle…: Under the hot summer sun, an ice cream war is breaking out in the unlikely venue of Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. First, Sweet Melissa Patisserie, a coffee and pastry shop, expanded into the building next door and opened what it called Sweet Melissa Cremerie. Then, right across the street, The Chocolate Room opened, promoting its own homemade ice cream. Both are siblings of Park Slope establishments, though neither the Seventh Avenue Sweet Melissa nor the Fifth Avenue Chocolate Room is known for ice cream.

    The original Sweet Melissa Patisserie is the Cobble Hill one, not the much newer one in Park Slope.

    Or better yet, the NY Sun — but accuracy never seems to be their strong suit anyway.
