Ice Cream Jubilee to the Yards; New Brunch at Jaleo

NAVY YARD— A new ice cream purveyor called Ice Cream Jubilee will open at The Yards development this spring. The ice cream shop will occupy a little more than 1,000 square feet at the development, offering unusual flavors like Thai iced tea and banana bourbon caramel. Right now the brand is sold in local stores like Glen's Garden Market; this is their first retail location. [EaterWire]
