ICE CREAM
If you're in the mood for a sweet treat, look no further than downtown Lawrence. Jayplay scoured the sugar-littered street to find which ice cream most deserves a home in your belly.
BEN AND JERRY'S ICE CREAM 818 Massachusetts St. Regular cup $3.95
The thing about Ben and Jerry's ice cream is, there's just so much stuff in it.The company offers a few basic flavors,but most are so rich and multi-layered that your taste buds end up confused.
COLD STONE CREAMERY
647 Massachusetts St.
Small cup $2.95
Cold Stone gets points for allowing their customers freedom with a "we'll-put-just-about-anthing-together-for-you" approach and for employees who sing when tipped, but the ice cream itself lacks the creamy body necessary to satisfy a craving. Ice cream should never taste like it's good for you.
MIRTH CAFÉ
745 New Hampshire St.
Small cup $2.95
The Italian gelato served at Mirth is refreshingly different, light and crisp. And, though it doesn't taste like it, the gelato is actually better for you than ice cream. Perfect for a slight change in ice cream pace.
BEST:SYLAS AND MADDY'S HOMEMADE ICE CREAM 1014 Massachusetts St. Single scoop $2.95
There is just no contesting Sylas and Maddy's fresh homemade taste. This
locally owned store offers a variety of flavors and crave-aable waffle cones. Just the smell of the place is almost enough to satisfy a craving — almost.

THIS WEEKEND
May is finally here and the sun is out (hopefully for good). Take advantage of the weather and head down to South Park, 12th and Massachusetts Streets, on May 6 for the 46th annual Art in the Park festival. Over 150 local artists will set up shop amidst the green grass and trees at the event sponsored by the Lawrence Art Guild. There will be free live music in the park's gazebo, food and drink, and activities for children. The event lasts from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and admission is free.
