In honor of opening day, JP Licks is reducing their prices to one dollar per scoop—the same as they were when the first store opened 28 years ago. Pay just a buck to get some ice cream or yogurt from noon to 9:00 pm on Monday, April 6, at any JP Licks location. If that weren't enough, you can also register to win free Sox tickets from JP Licks. Now that's a solid double for opening day.

There are a couple of spring events we've gotten used to. Free iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts or a scoop from Ben and Jerry's make their appearance in March and April, respectively, about a month apart. This year JP Licks joins the crew of freebie days. May 17, 2007 will be the first free coffee day at all 7 of their locations. They're hoping to prove how awesome their coffee is by giving it away...

With the warmer weather, we found ourselves thinking of ice cream. Of course, we could always go for Toscanini's or JP Licks, but we've been waiting for a treat to show up in our grocery freezer - the Stephen-Colbert-inspired Ben & Jerry's flavor "AmeriCone Dream."

It's a chilly start to the baseball season at Fenway Park today, one that might not immediately bring ice cream to mind. But think of it this way: an ice cream cone is less likely to melt down your arm in 40-degree weather, and the folks over at JP Licks are hooking up ice cream fans with free cones until 4 p.m.

When Bostonist met a friend for lunch last week in Coolidge Corner, we automatically began walking to our favorite place, Zathmary’s. When we got there, however, we found locked doors and two bewildered little old ladies standing outside. “They’re closed for good!” one of the ladies said, and it was one of those moments that Bostonist thought only happened in movies where everyone gasps in unison. We glanced in the windows and sure enough, all the lights were off and there were bags of packed-up supplies. One of the ladies, who dubbed herself the town crier, informed us that the Needham Zathmary’s had closed a few days before and now this one had followed suit. The crier had heard rumblings of an illness in the owner’s family. Bostonist pulled our dropped jaws from the sidewalk and reluctantly headed a few doors over to Zaftigs.
