Tue update: Free ice cream, Mpact happy hour tonight, Rumba Room, beer flavor wheel

If you like ice cream, this is a good week for you.  Ben & Jerry’s will give away free ice cream cones today from 12 to 8 PM.  Also, all week long, the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality at the U of M will let you build your own ice cream sundae all week from 2-4 PM.

Join the group “The City Taste” on Facebook to keep up with more great food deals from around the city.  That’s how I learned about these.

Free ice cream?  Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.

Oh, speaking of whom… I’ve learned that the Nuh-Uh Girl will be attending Mpact Memphis’ happy hour from 6 to 7 tonight at Primetime Sports Bar.  There’s an open bar and buffet for members ($5 non-members), but if you plan on eating you better make sure you get there before she does.

Let’s see… I’m a member, and there’s an open bar… yep, sounds like I’ll be late for trivia tonight.

Speaking of MPACT, there’s a new Downtown Download blog up about their recent Soul of the City Gala, including very detailed descriptions of what they had to eat and a picture of the buffet.

I saw a good tweet this morning linking to a Beer Flavor Wheel, which seems like it would be very useful to print out and learn about the different styles of beer.

If you like Cuban food, today’s Memphis Groupon is for dining at the Rumba Room on South Main.

All right… I have some stuff on Foursquare, but I want it to stand alone in a post, so I’m going to hit Publish on this Tuesday news post.  Another to come shortly.
