Be Careful Ordering a “Snowcone” From Mr. Softee: Y'all thought I was crazy for thinking that you could actually get weed from a roasted nuts vendor!?! That turned out to be an April Fools Day joke, but this certainly isn't: according to the NYDN, a "Mister Softee vendor was scooped up for making deliveries of cocaine while blaring the trademark jingle up and down his Long Island route, cops said yesterday."

Schnipper’s Green Chile Cheeseburger: $9 is a bit pricey for my tastes, but the Green Chile Cheeseburger from Schnipper's Quality Kitchen (on 41st & 8th) that Always Hungry wrote about this week looks pretty damn tasty. Plus from the looks of the photo, they might have done away with the "all burgers are cooked medium" thing. (Unless the pink in the middle is just special treatment for reporters...)
