Free Strawberries and Cream is the Real Deal
You might have seen this news in the Midtown Lunch forums yesterday, but Wimbledon is being shown on a giant screen in Rock Center Plaza- and to celebrate they’re giving away free strawberries and cream every day this week. I was kind of skeptical at first (thinking maybe it was half a strawberry or some nonsense like that), but it’s the real deal. Three big strawberries and a little cup of whipped cream (apparently it’s a Wimbledon tradition?) And it’s free. Not bad! (Obviously the whipped cream makes it.) Get yours any day this week from Noon to 6pm in the Rock Center Plaza between 50th and 51st.

It is a Wimbledon tradition, but it’s actual cream, not whipped cream, that’s served with the strawberries there.

@cchen – Like clotted cream? I can’t imagine dipping a strawberry into regular cream.

strawberrys and normal unwhipped cream, it’s actually an english thing going back centuries. It’s a fantastic combination as long as the cream and strawberries are cold.

Double cream 80% fat.

it was good stuff, they also have a mini tennis court set up where you can go in and volley a little, if you’re into that sorta thing.
Sounds great, I wish I could get over there.
