Free Ice Cream Downtown Today

Free ice cream will be handed out later this afternoon in downtown San Francisco. Why? Because it's going to be hot today. Between 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. at Beale between Howard and Folsom, free sweet frozen dairy treats will be handed out to the presumably sweltering masses.

Oh, and we totally heard this news before our coffee finished brewing, so we failed to catch the brand of ice cream.

We'll update as soon as we find out.

Update: According to Spare the Air, the ice cream will be Dryer's. "Today is a Spare the Air Day. We're thanking SF afternoon casual carpoolers with a Dreyer's treat from 4-6! Come say hi (on Beale @ Folsom)"

Ice cream instead of free transit? Mmm, delicious cake.
