If you’re looking for a way to beat the heat this weekend, get down to Hester Street Fair Saturday where two unique frozen treats specialists are debuting brand new, July 4th inspired flavors for one day only. The two mad ice cream scientists behind Guerilla Ice Cream continue their political revolution-inspired creativity as they debut Redcoat ($5)(spicy cranberry shaved ice with pop rocks) and Chinatown Tea Party ($5) (Steel Buddha Tea sorbet with Chinese walnut cookies and fresh dragonfruit). While those two troublemakers are slinging scoops, the lovely ladies of La Newyorkina, creators of Manhattan’s only artisanal Mexican ice pops, better know as paletas, will be reinventing the experience of eating a beautiful piece of fresh watermelon, right down to the rind, with their Watermelon Paleta ($4). To achieve the look of a real wedge of melon, the ladies fill their paleta molds with a combination of fresh pureed watermelon, simple syrup, lime juice, and salt then top it with a peeled, lightly sweetened puree of the rind. It may be more delicious than the real thing.
