Happy Friday, New York! In case you haven’t heard, Uber NYC is hitting the streets today for #UberIceCream, delivering on-demand ice cream in Manhattan and Brooklyn between 11am – 5pm.
But let’s face it, even if you have ice cream delivered to your office, #TGIF can’t be properly celebrated until the workday is over. So for those who are counting the minutes until life after 5pm tonight, here are some edibles and activities you can look forward to this weekend:
Have Some (More) Ice Cream | Ample Hills Creamery

And in other exciting ice cream news: Ample Hills Creamery (arguably the best small batch ice cream in NYC) has just opened a new flagship location in Gowanus that you should run, walk, or Uber to immediately. Be sure to try their new “It Came From Gowanus” flavor (especially if you love chocolate, fudge, and a lil’ crunch).

Even if you are weary at first, we encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and experience New York’s craziest dinner party, Queen of the Night.

Tonight, take a trip to Brazil — er, Prospect Park — and be serenaded by Bossa Nova queen Bebel Gilberto and Vinicius Cantuaria. Bring a blanket and relax in the grass as these two Brazilian beauties magically transport you to the coast of Rio de Janeiro. Best part? It’s free.
