Free Ben and Jerry's - April 19th [Boston]

"She said I think I'll go to Boston..."

In honor of the original Boston Cream Pie, created in 1855 at the former Parker House Hotel in Boston, Ben & Jerry’s announces its newest creation to Bostonians and pie lovers nationwide.  
Boston Cream Pie is a decadent mix of Boston Cream Pie ice cream with yellow cake pieces, fudge flakes and swirls of pastry cream. It’s a flavor worthy of a horse ride to Lexington! (Two scoops could get you to Concord if need be...)

To mark its arrival, Ben & Jerry’s will be offering free scoops of the new Boston Cream Pie flavor at its Boston Scoop Shop locations on Patriots’ Day, April 19th to celebrate the iconic Massachusetts state holiday. Stop by 174 Newbury Street, 800 Boylston Street (Prudential Center) or 20 Park Plaza for a complimentary scoop from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm while supplies last.

“We decided to turn the official dessert of The Commonwealth into our newest flavor,” said Ben & Jerry’s Director of Marketing, Dave Stever. “We think it’s worthy of the city and hope that people kick off their Patriots’ Day celebration with a free scoop on April 19th,” Stever added.
