Getting the Scoop

Spring is officially here. Unofficially, we might not be able to start wearing shorts until May. But to celebrate spring's so-called arrival, the Sweet Spot will offer one free scoop of gelato to patrons who stop by today from noon to 9 p.m. Co-owner Celeste Blau says she hopes Free Scoop Day will become an annual event at the shop known for using local and/or organic ingredients in its "American gelato."
