[/caption] We’re counting down the days until Blue Marble Ice Cream begins scooping their yummy homemade ice cream out of an eco-friendly tricycle out here on Governors Island. We have to wait because Blue Marble is buying a new tricycle with a cooler attachment just for Governors Island. A few Fridays ago, Blue Marble valiantly rode their scooping tricycle over the Brooklyn Bridge to the Governors Island ferry on a test run. The scooping was easy, but pedaling over the bridge with four gallons of butter pecan, chocolate and vanilla … not so much. We can wait. The ice cream is that good! Governors Island visitors have long had an unrequited love affair with ice cream. In visitor surveys, emails and throughout our outreach for the park and public master planning process, visitors have consistently requested ice cream to make their visit to Governors Island complete. Stay tuned! [caption id=“attachment_1804” align=“aligncenter” width=“468” caption=“Visitors have also compared the Island itself to an ice cream cone. Above, someone has drawn a map of Governors Island with a stamp from last year’s interactive exhibit. The name “Crunchy Bottom” was a staff favorite before the naming contest that yielded “Picnic Point.” ”]
