Investigating back as to when
this holiday began Wikipedia says it was a snowy day in the 60s, Rochester, New
York, where Florence Rappaport was dealing with two cranky kids because it was
too cold to do anything during a blizzard.
It was then that Florence suggested lets have ice cream for
breakfast. It is said these children
continued the annual celebration, sharing with friends, classmates even through
college. Her grandchildren came on the
scene, spreading the National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day celebration during
their travels and now there is even an International Ice Cream for Breakfast
Day.
National Ice Cream for Breakfast
Day is celebrated the first Saturday in February, this year February 7th. One Baltimore ice cream parlor is telling
their customers to roll out of bed and come to The Charmery in their favorite pajamas;
in fact, there will be a PJ contest.
Doors are opening earlier that day, at 10 am through 1 pm when guests
can enjoy specialty flavors created with morning breakfast, Saturday morning
cartoons and homage to the college days of pizza for breakfast:
- Spro Coffee
- Cornflakes and Milk
- Honey Golden Grahams
- The Smurfs
- Thunder Cats (with mini eye of Thunderas throughout)
- Flintstones
- Cold Pizza
Check your city for National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day celebrations.
If you are in Baltimore, you just might find me in my onesies at The Charmery ,
