"artisanal" ice-cream. handmade? organic? what about the cows? any info? my quest for artisanal continues.
I don't want to open a big can of worms here,but a true skinhead is not racist.Most traditional skinheads listen to old ska,reggae,and soul,and I have skin friends and have met skins of all races,including Asian and African American.Sorry to get all serious on you!
Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream already has a brick and mortar store. It's off of Smith Street in Brooklyn (at Bergen). Manhattan plays catch up!
They also have a brick-and-mortar on Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint, which I think was the first.
thanks for the corrections--i'll change it to first Manhattan shop. i guess it's another example of artisanal Brooklyn moving into Manhattan, a sort of interesting reverse gentrification?
Here here 79rigid. I'm Jewish and Puerto Rican and my buddies and I were proud skins (not racists) back in the day. In fact racist skins didn't last very long in those days...
Take the skinheads bowling, take them bowling! Sorry. So obvious. Groan.
I think the skinhead thing is a mixed bag. I grew up in England, & knew plenty of skinheads (some black or asian) who were not racist at all. And skinheads brought a ton of amazing ska & soul music into the mainstream. There was, however, a sub-section of skinhead culture that was hardcore fascist & affiliated with the National Front, etc. The film This is England reflects some of that. Don't know how that plays out in the U.S. but I imagine there may be similarities?
