Surprise Opening for Van Leeuwen in Boerum Hill
On Friday Gothamist reported that the Van Leeuwen ice cream truck was opening a permanent location in Boerum Hill this weekend. We stopped by 91 Bergen (right outside the subway stop) yesterday and the place was hopping. We like how the storefront turned out, too. Did anyone try it this weekend? GMAP

making high quality ice cream from organic ingredients BY HAND is both expensive and time consuming
not to mention, obnoxious, elitist, and causing the prices of regular crap to sky rocket. and if you think this crap is high quality i might have a bridge to sell you..

“im a advocater against price injustice, what can i say. it’s one thing if it’s an expensive restaurant, duh, i get that, but when prices are so gouged for the most simplest of crap, sorry i got a problem with that.

i <3 MM and ful heartedly agree. besides being annoying, rob’s attitude is not healthy for anyone including himself.
who cares if people want to spend THEIR money on whatever. why does it matter to you?

8 dollars for a pint of ice cream? gtfoh

So don’t buy there, never set foot in the place, who cares? Why must you always degrade and belittle everything that you are either not interested in, can’t afford, or don’t like? Are you that starved for attention?
Fine, rob. I can’t afford expensive restaurants, but don’t go on every restaurant thread expecting them to change, or damning their existence. If you don’t have a positive bone in your body, fine, but consider not sharing that with the rest of us 24/7.
