While New Yorkers pray for the out-of-nowhere blustery days to vanish for good, disgustingly hot weather is just around the corner. But it's tutto benne in the gelato 'hood.
Apple Core Hotels (the company behind the La Quinta Inn Manhattan, Red Roof Inn Manhattan, Comfort Inn Midtown, The Hotel @ Times Square, and the Ramada Inn East Side) has put together a "Gelato Tour" package where fancy ice cream fans can sample the Sicilian style giro del gelato throughout the West Village.
Through the room-and-sweets package, aficionados and amateurs get to tour Grom (an Italian gelati chain with old country flair), L'Arte Del Gelato (featuring Italian classics Stracciatella, Cassata Siciliana and biscotti), and Cones (the corn flavor with an optional sprinkle of cinnamon is recommended).
The hotel and frozen delight package is available from July 1 to August 31 and starts at $179 in July and $239 in August. Besides the three locations of chilled calories (up to $10 per shop), guests get centrally located accommodations and breakfast.
The catch? Paperwork. You "must pay for gelato up to $10 at each of the three listed shops...[and] present receipts to the front desk to receive credit to their credit card on file in the maximum amount of $30."
