The neighborhood's ice cream scene is about to get a lot bigger -- and gayer.
The partners behind the popular Big Gay Ice Cream Truck are weeks away from opening their first brick-and-mortar location on East Seventh Street.
The two-year-old food truck sensation -- which features such standout original creations as the "Salty Pimp" and "Bea Arthur" -- decided to make the leap after finding out from other tenants on the restaurant-rich block that a space was opening up.
"It was all kind of serendipitous in way," said Bryan Petroff, 39, who launched the truck in June 2009 with partner Doug Quint, noting that they hadn't been actively looking at real estate.
