New York is in for some brutally high temperatures for the foreseeable future. If you’re looking for ways to beat the heat next Saturday, June 22, inventive Filipino-American chocolatier Daniel Corpuz is celebrating his shop’s two-year anniversary at Canal Street Market by offering free ube-flavored ice cream to visitors who stop in.
Ube, the ingredient that lends the ice cream its purple hue and flavor, is a gastronomic cousin to the purple sweet potato. To claim your free scoop, tap in with the Blackbird App once you’re inside the shop and you’re good to go.
If you’re interested in sampling more of Corpuz’s cross-cultural creations, return to the store on Monday, June 24 (the actual anniversary!) when his bonbons go on sale for just $2 instead of the usual $3.75. You’ll also find an assortment of limited-edition specials, such as his Passion Fruit Rocher, which combines milk chocolate, with hazelnut, passion fruit, and caramel.
Daniel Corpuz Chocolatier, 261 Canal Street, New York, 951-310-2420.
