Meeting Matt Allen aka Icecream Man

Taking a stroll downtown Manhattan on Friday afternoon, I saw Matt Allen, also known as Icecream Man. Matt was on Thompson and Broom doing his usual thing - giving away free icecream. He has been driving all over the States and up to day has given over 170,000 icecream, all free. His goal is to reach 500,000 treats. At first I wanted to find out the reason why he is doing it, then I decided to be a little girl again and not look for closures and business reasons.

Instead, Matt and I talked about the fun of doing it and his next destinations. We chatted and enjoyed the icecream. Icecream Man will be going to Long Island and Austin, Texas next. Matt, I truly wish you all the best! Thank you for spreading the love through icecream!
