How much BYT loves frozen giveaways should be so well known by now, we need not elaborate. Over the next 3 days (which, lets face it is way better than over today) if you find yourself at any of the following locations (why the Adams Morgan Harris Teeter is not on the list I DON’T KNOW) you can get a delicious free gelato from Ciao Bella, a New York-based gelateria, whose pints retail for around $3-4.
Aside from the traditional gelato flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and hazelnut, you can go lighter (???) with blood orange, coconut, or blackberry cabernet sorbetto
Dcist has the (full) scoop.
Dates, Locations and Times:
Aug. 13
Alexandria Harris Teeter on Duke St., 11am - 2pm
Arlington Whole Foods on Wilson Blvd., 4pm - 7pm
Aug. 14
Arlington Harris Teeter on N. Glebe Rd., 11am - 2pm
Arlington Harris Teeter on N. Harrison St., 4pm - 7pm
Aug. 15
Balducci’s in Bethesda., 11am - 2pm
Arlington Harris Teeter on Army-Navy Rd., 4pm - 7pm

The lighter flavors are sorbetto (think sorbet, sherbet, or whatever you choose to call fruit ice without the wonderful cream), not gelato.
Bring on the free hazelnut!

August 13, 2008 at 11:34 amSo I drove with a friend to North Arlington in order to get my free gelato and not only were they only giving away samples, they weren’t even the flavors listed! Of course I wouldn’t imagine them giving away pints but at least a small cup’s worth.
