That Sunday -- July 17 -- is upon us! So, whether you get it in a cup or cone, make sure to hit up your local ice cream shop as part of your national obligation to appropriately observe this sweet-ass holiday.
To honor National Ice Cream Day, Carvel is offering a free kid's cone or cup.
But if you're feeling more adventurous, make sure to head to Ritters in Margate, where you can get a free sample of any flavor frozen custard you desire.
