Coolhaus’ Rain Date For Free Ice Cream Sandwiches Is Today!: There was a fair amount of excitement followed by a big let down last week when the Coolhaus truck planned to give away free ice cream sandwiches through a promo with the W Hotels, but ended up canceling due to the rain that would not stop. They're using today as a make up, and you can get the freebies from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the area of Broadway and Wall St. at Maiden Lane & Water St. They're going to tweet the exact location, and we'll try to post it here, so leave room at lunch for a late day treat.

Hibachi Heaven Hitting The FiDi For Real Today: The plan was to launch the new Hibachi Heaven truck in the Financial District on Tuesday, but as often happens there were issues with the truck and it was pushed back.
